I am a distinguished global health security expert with over 20 years of experience leading complex international programs. As an accomplished program manager, researcher, and policy advocate, I have authored numerous peer-reviewed publications on zoonotic disease emergence, One Health approaches, and global health security. My work has directly influenced international health policy and contributed to building health security across multiple continents. My commitment to evidence-based policy development and ability to navigate complex international partnerships make me an invaluable leader in preparing for and responding to global health threats.

My academic credentials include a DrPH in Emerging Infectious Disease Policy and Global Health Development from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, an MPH in International Health Systems Management from Tulane University, and a BS in Biological Anthropology from George Washington University.

The Senior Investigator designation provides an important platform to formalize this engagement, enabling me to contribute to education, research development, joint publications, and proposal submissions. I view this as a strategic partnership that aligns well with the Anschutz Medical Campus's values of innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and community impact. I am particularly enthusiastic about mentoring learners and supporting CGH in building resilient academic-public health capacities in project management across regions and institutions.
