WHY GLOBAL HEALTH?
I believe that science can be used to promote public health practices, and that now, more than ever, we need evidence-based policies to strengthen health systems. 
My areas of focus in global health are:

• Mental health and substance abuse (including the use of arts and dance to promote positive mental health)
• Aging and palliative care 
• Neurological disorders ​
• Capacity building in public health
