Currently working at Biostatistics and Epidemiology Data Analytics Center (BEDAC). I work with my colleagues to promote the mission of the BEDAC Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice (DEIJ) Committee. Mission statement: The BEDAC DEIJ committee will provide resources and insight needed to advocate for diversity and inclusion within BEDAC and BUSPH as a whole. Committee goals include: promoting analytic frameworks for more equitable health research, identifying and implementing strategies for improving diversity and equity in staff hiring and retention, and providing space for BEDAC employees to discuss inequity and share opportunities for action. Additionally, this committee will act as a broker between BEDAC staff and BUSPH-wide DEIJ initiatives. Prior experience working at Fenway Health , The Fenway Institute, Boston, MA. The mission of The Fenway Institute is to optimize health and well-being for sexual and gender minorities (SGM) and those affected by HIV.
