Together with The Upwardly team, I equip leaders committed to dismantle the unequal structures of power experienced by those living in adversarial environments. Using innovative strategies, culturally relevant technical knowledge and novel applications, we are committed to an Upwardly revolution. As graduate of Harvard with a Bachelor of Science degree in biomedical engineering, and holding M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, I have been a first-hand witness to the expansion of technology and am uniquely poised as an architect for the application of technology to development of the broader community.
