Where did you find your passion for public health?
After working in a range of issue area campaigns and organizations—from environmental and economic justice to transportation and urban planning—joining RHHD felt like a reunion of all the most pressing topics I’d touched in previous roles all under one roof. Public health embraces the idea that many systems all influence health outcomes. We have to show up and advance evidence-based services, programs, and policies in all these arenas!
Where would we be likely to find you after work?
Riding my bike across town chasing between after-hours meetings, kiddo activities, and sunniest patio I can find!
Where is your favorite place to take out-of-town visitors?
The Pump House Park and trails by the river near the Nickel Bridge.
Random Round!
Hot breakfast, cold breakfast, or no breakfast? Workdays? Coffee and a banana and out the door! Weekends? Bagels whenever humanly possible
What’s Richmond’s best month? October means the Folk Festival, foliage, and spooky season!
Would you rather be a ghost or a dog? Dog 100%. Life is full of joy when your reward systems are all food, love, and walks.!
