Passionate public health advocate with a knack for orchestrating impactful initiatives. At Argus Community, Inc., I managed the CATCH program, delivering free HIV and Hepatitis C testing, counseling, and referrals to underserved NYC communities. With a team of six health educators, I coordinated 20+ monthly events and delivered engaging talks on various health topics, expanding our outreach through strategic collaborations. Adept at leveraging social media and podcasts, I curated compelling content on disease prevention and wellness, bolstering program visibility and advocacy. My efforts heightened awareness and accessibility for those impacted by infectious diseases. With a master's degree in infectious diseases from the esteemed London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, U. of London, and a bachelor's in public health from the University of Alabama, I'm primed to catalyze positive change in public health initiatives. Let's connect and explore how my expertise can elevate your organization's health-related endeavors. Together, we can drive transformative impact in communities and beyond.
