Personal statement
“PHO is uniquely positioned at the interface of research, policy, and public health practice. Working in HPCDIP at PHO provides tremendous opportunities to stay informed of the top priorities in public health in Ontario, and to generate solution-oriented research that can directly inform interventions for preventing and reducing chronic disease and improving health equity in Canada and internationally. As a Senior Scientist at PHO, my research focuses on developing and evaluating large-scale interventions to better understand their impacts on population-level health and health equities.”
