At CSSP

I serve as an advisor to DULCE, a pediatric care innovation that transforms the delivery of health services for families with infants through a collaboration between early childhood, health, and legal systems. 

I do this work because

I am inspired by the strength and resilience of my parents, immigrants from Eritrea. Their experiences navigating health systems motivate me to address inequities and support systems transformation, so everyone has quality, comprehensive and equitable care. 

I am most proud of

Supporting the growth of the DULCE approach on all fronts.
