Brief biography

My areas of interest include the role of health education in health care and value-based benefits. I am also interested in upstream approaches in public health using advocacy and ethics. I try to emphasize student involvement across professional responsibilities, as well as collaboration with community organizations for wise utilization of resources in translational projects.
