Being new to a place can be difficult but not in this instance! I began working at Salem in August, and I have done nothing but wake up daily with a smile. I am the new Health Policy and Law professor but I am also interdisciplinary based on my background in health advocacy & policy, law, and working in a multitude of health organizations. After years of working in these fields, I felt it was time to bring my knowledge and excitement to students who are looking for guidance when searching for their career paths. I am the pre law advisor and proud to see future legal advocates blossom. I also teach legal, ethics, and health centered courses. I hate to be cliche but I feel that I didn't choose Salem; Salem chose me.
