I'm a passionate, persistent and perky public health nurse. My gig is health policy, leadership, epidemiology, and social determinants of health. I love working in the academic setting. Because I miss my public health days, I spend a bunch of time working on our campuses COVID-19 (and now Monkey Pox) response. I'm a champion for the underdog and for policy changes that take a long time to accomplish (think sex education!).
