Summary
- I have been a hematology and oncology physician assistant at the University of Minnesota Health since 2006. I am faculty at St. Catherine University Master of PA Studies program with a focus on oncology, global health, and co-founder of the Global Health and Underserved Populations Track. I am a board member of Foundation for Cancer Care in Tanzania, an NGO that built and supports a new cancer program in Northern Tanzania. In the past I have focused on the prevention and early detection of breast and cervical cancer by education of community level health care providers as well as starting a cervical cancer-screening program in Arusha, Tanzania. Now, I am also studying the toxicity of cancer treatments in Ethiopia as a PhD candidate at Erasmus University in the Netherlands.
