Bio

"Researchers have the unique ability to understand & translate science. Right now, we should be correcting misinformation, erasure of history, & use of inaccurate data in everyday conversations. This how we promote social justice."

I am a public health researcher, storyteller, & strategist.

What does that mean? It means I’m passionate about using my public health expertise for social change. I am dedicated to educating the public and decision makers about important issues affecting communities through data-driven, strategic, effective and timely communications.
