RGA (2024)

Essential Health Program Specialist for a large congressional mandated HEAL initiative which is a major investment. Dedicated 40-50% effort focused on this congressional mandate. The other 60-50% are devoted to assist with program specific congressional responses. Provided essential programmatic support for funded and ongoing clinical research projects related to improving neurological health in populations with higher burden and risk of neurological disease. Provided unique expertise in clinical health sciences, human nutrition, prevention research, and engaging communities through community-based projects in populations at risk for disease. My role as Health Program Specialist Fellow helped to advance the health of American populations who needed it the most.

The PMF program is one of integrity and one that instills leadership and service to country. It’s a merit-based program free of any bias from recruitment through the interview process. Some of our nation’s finest top officials are alums of the PMF program and have contributed meaningfully to our society. Eliminating the program will be a major blow to public service and a major deterrent to citizens with advance degrees who want to use their skills and talents to make our nation better. The decision to reinstate the PMF program and current fellows to their appointments will be a step in the right direction for our country and for public service.
