Where does public health take you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the District Testing Coordinator, I cover a lot of ground with our mobile clinic van, offering testing, resources, and more. I particularly love going out to the community events and doing outreach, like at the Science Museum on Halloween or River Rock! In my day to day though, I facilitate COVID testing and home test distribution at 4-5 community based events a week, through partners, and our resource centers; I support our clinics when there is a surge in cases of other viruses like the flu or mpox in the community; I work with our employee health team fitting staff into the proper respiratory protection and as a CPR\/BLS instructor and overdose REVIVE! Trainer. I spend most of my time out in the community, usually on the Southside or East End.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where did you learn about public health? Who is your public health hero?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

COVID got me into public health, but I\u2019ve always loved to help others and this was a good avenue to do so! My hero is Kate Bausman – she got me started with the Medical Reserve Corps!<\/p>\n


\nWhere were you before you joined RHHD?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was at VCU here in Richmond for their Homeland Security and Emergency Management program (the first in the nation!).<\/p>\n


\nWhat are some of the most important health needs you see in our community?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Health education, connectivity, and insurance coverage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where do you find rest or rejuvenation?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nature, walking trails, the river, the forest, anywhere without concrete!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Random Round!<\/strong><\/p>\n


\nWhat\u2019s Richmond\u2019s best month?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

April, I love spring here.<\/p>\n


\nWhat are you reading, watching, or listening to right now?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Season 2 of Physical 100 ? (which is also helping with my Korean lessons).<\/p>\n


\nWould you rather be a ghost or a dog?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ghost, I have a few tricks I\u2019d like to pull!<\/p>\n
