At the Trust
By centering equity and leveraging my background in population health, I work deeply with communities and organizations focused on improving the health and well-being of groups that have been marginalized. Through the Trust’s Healthy Places NC work, I engage residents in some of Eastern North Carolina’s most vibrant and underserved areas to ensure that everyone has a seat at the table, as we work collaboratively for thriving communities.
I Work On
My Proudest Accomplishment
I entered this field to help empower historically underserved communities to achieve better health for generations to come. Being accepted into the 2024/2025 Connecting Leaders of Color Fellowship by ABFE is a proud milestone, recognizing my commitment to equity-driven leadership and systemic change. This opportunity strengthens my ability to positively impact Black communities through networking and leadership development and to leave a lasting impact for generations.

When the Day is Done
Given the knowledge and opportunities I have gained from doing my M.P.H., I share useful information for my fellow public health family on my platform – thePHmillennial. I also serve as co-founder for Brothers in Public Health Inc, a nonprofit organization working to involve men of color in the public health field in efforts for positive change supporting historically underserved communities. It gives me joy to assist others who are trying to find their path in public health. You can also find me reading a book or a public health-related paper, or watching my favorite soccer teams play—Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Trinidad & Tobago, and The Netherlands!
