What I'm looking for
I am a highly motivated public health professional with a strong academic background and extensive experience in research coordination, data analysis, and program evaluation.

My commitment to promoting health equity through evidence-based decision-making drives my professional endeavors.
Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in various healthcare settings, including my role as a Health System Specialist at the Veterans Health Administration, where I researched and analyzed gender and minority health data to identify disparities in healthcare.
