About me
I’m a woman striving to live a life of happiness, health, purpose, and freedom surrounded by incredible company.
I believe that true progress in improving health outcomes for all comes from strategic investment in elevating the lives of our most vulnerable women and youth through community education, service, advocacy, and partnerships.
The public health profession is more than a job to me—it’s a predetermined factor.
My System
Mobilize diverse perspectives to find sustainable and just systemic solutions
Nurture a lust for limitless learning and encourage gratitude
Channel joy, creativity, and freedom to empower women
I love learning about multipassionate women like you—especially how your backgrounds, motivations, and environments power how you serve the world—and using your stories to energize others to live fiercely. I also recognize each moment as an opportunity to evolve as a changemaker.
Let’s connect if you share these passions and want to work together towards creating a healthier, more equitable future.
#livePHiercely with me,
