processes
May ease communication between the
healthcare team

education and community advocacy outreach. I hope to provide equitable healthcare and culturally sensitive interventions to help improve the health
of communities.” Personal hobbies: spending time with my partner (Tyler) and our Goldendoodle (Felix), trail running, cycling, cross-country skiing, swimming, reading, water-coloring, plant-based cooking, and relaxing.
