Personal Information:
I enjoy playing golf, working-out, reading, traveling, spending time with my family, and writing plays.
What I would like to get out of this program:
One of the most important aspects of this program for me is to learn how to create resources that would help sustain some of the programs that I have consulted with that address some of the most pressing needs in our community. Secondly, I would like to grow as a leader and a professional as well as learn from others who are experts in the field of Public Health. I would also like to develop a network of professionals to use as a resource to help resolve public health issues in my own community.
