I found my identity in public health. It allows me to give back, learn, grow, and create, and that fuels my passion for the field.
Three words to describe me:
innovative, strategic, organized
The best part of my job:
I get to empower the next generation of public health leaders and use experiential learning to shape their perspectives and approaches.
Something that would surprise others about me:
I'm an ASTA Verified Travel Advisor and CLIA Certified Cruise Counselor.
