Overview
I am a nurse by original training and earned my MPH at JHSPH in its 75th year (1991). I have been on the faculty of JHSPH since 1999 beginning in the Department of International Health focused on the conduct of clinical vaccine trials and the training of US and International investigators and teams about clinical trials. In 2000, I launched one of the early online courses at JHSPH, Good Clinical Practice, a vaccine trial perspective, and taught it for 18 years. I also taught a course through Coursera. I coordinated the Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH) in Global Disease Epidemiology and Control for 16 years working with over 400 students. I chaired the CEPH reaccreditation committee for the school beginning in 2013 which resulted in JHSPH reaccreditation in 2015 through 2022
As my career evolved, my interest in teaching, mentoring, and advising continued to grow. I moved to the Department of Health Policy and Management where I am currently the Assistant Director of the CAHME accredited JHU MHA program ranked 9th in the country. I am always interested in speaking with potential students.
