Position Title: 

Quality Improvement/Diabetes Care Coordinator

Where are you from?

I lived in Davis my whole life before moving to Los Angeles for college.

Why did you decide to join NHC?

Growing up in Davis, a community that values public and environmental health, set the foundation for who I am today. I was involved with food access efforts in Los Angeles, which led me to the CDPH, and now to NHCSF. I am driven to meet the needs of my community. Through NHC, I aim to learn more about how I can bridge gaps in access to health.

What are you hoping to gain or learn during your service term?

I hope that my service term will further develop my skills in public health, communication, patient engagement, and coordinating community health efforts. I want to build my knowledge of healthcare systems, and I’m excited about the opportunity to work in the food pharmacy.

What are you most looking forward to during your service term?

I’m looking forward to truly connecting with both the community I will be working with and the community of NHC members!
