Career Interests
I'm drawn to roles where public health meets systems change, community voice, and equitable access. My ideal next position combines program leadership with meaningful community impact in one or more of these areas
LGBTQ+ Program Management Expanding access to PrEP, PEP, DoxyPEP, STI/HIV prevention, gender-affirming care, and comprehensive sexual health services for LGBTQ+ communities. I'm particularly interested in roles that focus on health education, clinical navigation and integration, policy advocacy, and community-centered program design.
Youth Educational Support Mentoring young people through educational transitions and building pathways into public health careers. I'm passionate about college access work, youth leadership development, and creating opportunities for students from underserved communities to see themselves in public health.
Economic Justice & Food Security Addressing systemic barriers to economic stability through policy advocacy and direct programming. This includes SNAP implementation, food access initiatives, workforce development, and policies that strengthen the social safety net for low-income communities.
Foundation & Philanthropy Supporting community-driven solutions through grant making, program design, and partnership development. I bring a practitioner's perspective to funder roles, with experience translating community needs into fundable projects and measuring impact beyond traditional metrics.
Geographic Focus Open to in-person or hybrid opportunities throughout Massachusetts and southern Connecticut, including the Hartford area.
