Miami, FloridaPublic Health Program Manager
Florida Department of Health in Broward County
My goal is to assist disparate groups with achieving equitable health through public health practices by developing programs and maximizing outcomes with community health education and open access to treatment options. Providing tools and resources to vulnerable communities will reset social norms and ultimately motivate those most affected by preventative health conditions to lead healthier lives through modified behavior.
Three words to describe me:
ambitious, resilient, diligent
The best part of my job:
providing community education and resources to prepare disparate populations with essential tools to lead healthier lives. Thus, resetting normative behaviors to turn the curve on health disparities.
Something that would surprise others about me:
To date, I have not learned how to swim, but I love to participate in water activities while on vacation.
