What motivates you to do this work?

I am motivated by a passion for health equity and a commitment to improving the health of underserved communities. Through my work in HIV prevention and community outreach, I have seen firsthand how social and structural barriers can impact health outcomes. These experiences have reinforced my desire to help address health disparities and improve access to quality care.
