Faculty & Staff Profiles

At the time I concluded my professional education as a mental health clinical provider, I was interested in interventions that could promote health and prevent disease rather than treat illness after its onset. I was also interested in system level solutions to improve individual and population health. I felt I needed further professional training to work in prevention, primary care, and community settings. My search for the knowledge and tools that would allow me to work in these settings led me to a career in public health.

The Parkinson School is multi-disciplinary. For Public Health Sciences, a multi-disciplinary field by definition, this is a natural fit. However, it is really the openness of the Parkinson community of faculty, students, and staff to work and study together that allows for the synergy across our disciplines and departments.
