Biography

I have worked professionally in medicine, surgery, public health, and psychiatry. I was a physician assistant from 1983 until I retired in 2010.

In 1984, I ran an outpatient clinic for the American Refugee Committee in Nong Samet Refugee Camp on the Thai-Cambodian border. I then volunteered as a surgical assistant at the Huria Kristen Batak Protestant Hospital in Balige, Sumatra, Indonesia. I worked in the prison infirmary at the North Central Correctional Institution in Massachusetts for three years, then joined the Peace Corps and served as a health volunteer in Guinea-Bissau, where I ran a community health center. Having acquired a working knowledge of Portuguese, I then went to Mozambique, where I worked in a prosthetics assistance project for amputees, run by Health Volunteers Overseas. From there, I went to Angola, where I was site manager in an immunization program run by the International Medical Corps. From 1996 until 1997 I ran a malaria control program for Doctors Without Borders in the Yanomami indigenous area in Brazil, continuing the same program for CCPY from 1998 until 2001. After obtaining a Master's Degree in public health at Boston University, I ran a health education program for Survivor Corps until 2010. I taught at James Madison University, where I supervised peer support programs for survivors of war-related violence who are affected by PTSD until 2015, and was a Visiting Assistant Professor there until 2017.

At various times, I have also worked in an abortion clinic, on an organ transplant team, in a psychiatric hospital, in a methadone clinic, in the Mozambican Ministry of Health, as assistant to an orthopedic surgeon, and as a consultant for the Clinton Foundation and for the CDC. I now work as a Crisis Intervention Clinician in a hospital emergency room.
