Brief Bio

I am a public health specialist and infectious disease physician who focuses on the health of underserved communities through education, partnership development, and program implementation. I co-direct the Penn MPH Global Health Track and am the senior advisor for global public health and founding team member at the Center for High Impact Philanthropy in Penn’s School of Social Policy and Practice. Trained in internal medicine, pediatrics, and tropical medicine, I am an Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases and directs the Global Health Equities track in Penn Medicine’s internal medicine and med-peds residency programs. My current interests include building sustainable collaborations with global and local partners including those in public health education, One Health (Galapagos), and community health.
