I am originally from Jamaica, but I have spent the majority of my life as an immigrant in the United States of America. I am an aspiring doctor (physician-advocate, medical journalist, and international health storyteller) with plans to focus on infectious diseases and neglected tropical skin diseases. I am really looking forward to my time in Fiji, where I will be performing clinical research on scabies and rheumatic heart disease.
I graduated from Wake Forest University, where I was a Joseph G. Gordon Scholar in 2011. I hold an MPH in Health Policy and Management with a concentration in Global Health from the Yale School of Public Health, and I pursued a DrPH at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health from 2017 to 2022. Additionally, I spent the 2012–2013 school year as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.
My career began at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of Global Health and TB, followed by roles at the U.S. Department of State, the CDC Foundation, and most recently, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
