My work in public health takes a global perspective, and I have focused on countries with limited resources and knowledge. I believe in the necessity of sharing expertise with populations who can benefit with improved health, well-being and quality of life. I have spent a significant amount of time living and working in various settings around the world, and have learned and gained an appreciation for the importance of helping others.
