Mentoring

My parents, teachers, and mentors along the way have been key change agents in my life, allowing me to surpass many of my own expectations. As my varied experiences inform my public health work, they also strengthen my commitment to mentoring and providing experiences and resources to those who have been historically underrepresented in research and other leadership roles.
