My journey in public health began as a Peace Corps volunteer in Ghana, where I worked in community-based public health. I was really inspired and motivated by the work I was doing in that community, and it set the foundation for my career. Coming back to the United States, I continued my professional growth in public health across a variety of different roles and organizations. For the past 4 years, I've been at NACCHO, and I'm really drawn to the work with local health departments across the United States. Being a part of that important public health work is what has drawn me to the organization, and I find the work so meaningful. I've achieved several professional milestones I'm proud of, including passing two project management certifications and completing graduate school, all of which have contributed to my professional growth. In my day-to-day role, I focus on project management tasks, particularly around NACCHO's two major conferences - the Preparedness Summit in the spring and NACCHO 360 in July. I work with teammates and external partners to plan and coordinate all the important aspects that go into making these events successful. What I love most is streamlining systems and working through processes to make things run smoother, and contributing to overall team goals is something I'm really proud of.
