I was born in Liberia. I grew up between Liberia and the United States. I have a BS in International Studies and Political Sciences with a minor in Global Health and Culture from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. I earned my Master in Public Health (MPH) with an emphasis in Global Health from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. I am currently doing my doctorate degree in healthcare administration (DHA) at Franklin University in Ohio. I have spent my entire career in the healthcare industry. I have worked for international non-governmental organizations in the U.S and abroad including the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and the Catholic Medical Mission Board (CMMB). I have also worked for university medical centers and health systems. I am also the Founder/President & CEO of Eli Health System (www.hsnow.org). An international nonprofit healthcare organization with the mission to provide university primary healthcare in Sub-Sahara Africa. My father being a pediatric nurse, with over 40 years of experience, I grew up immensely prepared to take on a healthcare career.
