Areas of Focus
The issues I continue to examine across public health practice, teaching, and community leadership
My work is shaped by questions about culture, power, institutional practice, and who influences the decisions that affect health.
Cultural Humility
How self-reflection, awareness of power, and openness to correction can strengthen leadership, relationships, research, and institutional practice.
Racism, Equity, and Health
How history, policy, institutional decisions, and everyday practices produce or reinforce health inequities.
Community Engagement
How communities and community-based organizations can meaningfully shape priorities, decisions, and the systems that affect them.
Collaborative Public Health
What it takes to lead across sectors, identities, institutions, and different forms of expertise.
Selected Work
A few examples of how my perspective shows up in practice
Across speaking, teaching, and facilitated dialogue, I connect questions of culture, power, equity, and public health to the decisions leaders and institutions make.
