Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: I have been the project manager for multiple grants that have to do with educating youth about social justice and health equity. In my current role as director of the Boston Area Health Education Center I have been responsible for incorporating a racial justice and health equity framework into our work with adolescent youth. Among my interests is how to develop programs and interventions to expose youth to key public health principles.
