What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and innovation in public health initiatives.

I am a seasoned public health professional with over twenty-seven years of experience across federal, state, and local governments. My career has been dedicated to understanding government processes, policies, and partnerships, particularly within the non-profit and educational sectors. I have a strong record of directing and managing complex civil rights investigations, focusing on housing discriminatory practices and advancing public health initiatives.

Throughout my career, I have served in various mid-level management roles, demonstrating my ability to lead and collaborate effectively. My work has involved conducting sensitive investigations, developing comprehensive reports, and providing technical assistance to grantees. I am passionate about improving maternal and child health outcomes and have successfully secured funding for statewide initiatives aimed at addressing health disparities.
