Sharing experiences from a career in public health to connect dots and engage students in career exploration, career advising and all things workforce development.

Diverse career in public health and health education with broad experience across sectors.  Experienced in academic research and writing, home health marketing, implementation and coordination of grant-based public health programs, grant-writing, HIPAA and Medicaid policy development, program compliance, training and workforce development.   Special interest in rural health, at-risk populations and the role of career exploration and development in helping students find career purpose and success. 

My education has consistently been relevant to my career, beginning from an undergraduate degree in Biology and History, which has given me a solid base and interest area from which to grow.  My masters degree in Public Health allowed me to learn the basics from which I could work in the different jobs that I have had from South Carolina to Texas.  The Global Career Development Facilitator Certificate that I completed in January of 2024 has completed one circle for me and allowed me to see my entire resume in the context of helping others find their own career success.
