Picture
I'm passionate about building community. It is my pleasure to help people harness information, ideas, and data to build common vision and enact strategies and solutions. My primary focus is on building healthy communities and infrastructures that support the development of our youth, families, and individuals along the lifespan through research, outreach, advocacy, and policy development with an emphasis on diversity, inclusion, and equity.
