Start date at Hillside: 2023

What do you do at Hillside? I came to know of Hillside Health Care International through other individuals who have served on the board, and am also familiar with the reputation of the organization from people in the community who directly benefit from the services. As a professional, I gravitate towards organization-building projects and I am happy that I am able to join HHCI now at the time when it is looking towards expanding its services in the areas of mental health, physical therapy and occupational therapy. As a native Belizean, I am aware of the strengths and try to keep up with the advances and areas for growth in the healthcare and education sectors in Belize.

Where do you live?  Boston, MA

What do you like about Hillside? I am motivated by the mission of Hillside Health, to promote healthcare and education in communities where the work has direct, visible impact.

What are your interests/ hobbies outside of Hillside? I travel – a lot! – and I thoroughly enjoy experiencing new places and engaging with people from different backgrounds and cultures and learning from those perspectives. Funny enough, while I have been “all over" Belize, I have never been to Toledo — so I am pleased that engagement with HHCI will increase the likelihood of that for me.
