What is it you do for a living? (Parenting, volunteering, CEO of social service organization, etc.)
I serve as a senior program officer at the Center for Health Care Strategies on the Child Health Quality team. In this role, I provide technical assistance and programmatic support for child health projects.
What organization(s) do you volunteer or work for?
The Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) is a nonprofit policy center dedicated to improving the health of low-income Americans. It works with state and federal agencies, health plans, providers, and community-based organizations to develop innovative programs that better serve beneficiaries of publicly financed care, especially those with complex, high‐cost needs.
What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I first became interested in ACEs while working as a clinician. I started reading about trauma and adversity, and how they impact the body, and it changed how I approached my work from then on out. Now that I'm engaged in policy work, I can apply that same lens on a broader scale.
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
I am currently involved with the New Jersey Resiliency Coalition.
