Unified Government Public Health Department, Wyandotte County, Kansas
I found my true home when I entered the world of local governmental public health and realized the power of what can be achieved when local government works in concert with the community.
Three words to describe me:
persistent, strategic, passionate
The best part of my job:
I get to touch all facets of public health, from our COVID response to violence prevention to housing to health education.
Something that would surprise others about me:
I enjoy lifting weights almost as much as I enjoy baking pastries.
