With nine years of experience in the medical field, she ventures to protect public health by promoting climate action that heals the planet from unsustainable practices. A few examples of her passions put into practice include; focusing on responsible leadership by promoting the health of shift workers, encouraging innovations in the healthcare industry as part of a woman-led healthcare coalition, and seeking to persuade leaders within the healthcare industry to support national carbon tax legislation in the United States through the Citizens’ Climate Lobby. Having practical experiences with the United Nations and various international teams, she values a diversity of voices and perspectives through all endeavors. Her goal is to incorporate these points of view into innovative solutions on an international scale.
