I have served as the Chief Executive Officer at Partners In Health (PIH) since 2019. PIH is a global health nonprofit organization rooted in social justice that brings the benefits of modern medical science to impoverished communities in 11 countries. For the last 15 years, I've held multiple cross-site roles at PIH, including Chief of Ebola Response, Chief of Clinical Operations, and Chief Nursing Officer overseeing nursing efforts as well as supply chain, medical informatics, laboratory, infrastructure, and quality improvement activities.
I received my BSN degree from Northeastern University, as well as my Master of Science in Nursing as an Adult Nurse Practitioner and my Doctorate in Nursing Practice with a concentration in global health from the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Institute of Health Professions. I worked for decades in the HIV/AIDS field and expanded her work globally in 1999 responding to the global HIV pandemic. I was the co-founder of a small NGO that worked in South Africa and Boston from 2004 to 2010 on health implementation projects, including a rural village nurse clinic. I was a clinician in the Infectious Diseases clinic at MGH for over 15 years and an HIV/AIDS activist for over 30 years.
