My overarching goal in public health is to drive structural changes that make our systems more just, accessible, and responsive‚ particularly for communities that have long been marginalized.
Three words to describe me:
determined, genuine, policy wonk
The best part of my job:
working with a team of dedicated public health professionals who are always ready to problem solve and develop new ideas to address complex problems.
Something that would surprise others about me:
I am an introvert who has gotten very good at pretending to be an extrovert!
