Experiences & Accomplishments
The goal of my work is to optimize research groups to facilitate the evidence to policy translation pathway in global public health. With nineteen years of experience conducting clinical trials and one year of application of these skills in the non-profit and consulting spaces, I focus on best practice for large groups of diverse stakeholders in working together to center lived experiences and translate results into meaningful impact for affected communities.
