My passion for public health drives my work, research, and ongoing education. Being in the business of prevention, I truly feel public health is the future of healthcare across the world. Society doesn't have the fiscal capacity to support reactive approaches to healthcare, so public health is tasked with developing innovative methods to addressing population-based health challenges. Through my work, research, and ongoing education I have two boots on the ground everyday working collaboratively in my community to find solutions to these dauting challenges.
