About Me
Old school experience: I am a senior-level international development professional with a technical background in health. I have experience in emergency response, health systems strengthening, HIV/AIDS, TB, RH, and maternal and child health. I've managed up to $75 million in budgets. I have lived and worked overseas for ten years and have worked on projects from health to education financing to emergency shelter and gender-based violence.
Social media experience: Blogger on global health and international development for UN Dispatch and on neglected tropical diseases for End the Neglect. Editor of the International Development Careers List newsletter. Published on foreignpolicy.com and Aid Watch. Quoted in Deutsche Welle and the NY Times.
Miscellanea: I have an agent and a book proposal for an international development memoir. I have a book project in the works that I can't tell you about just yet but will be released in July or August. I'm a senior TED fellow and a founding member of the Smart Aid movement.
