“I’m driven by a desire to help people live healthier, happier lives and to help organizations navigate and embrace change. I’m a firm believer in building community wherever I am. When thinking about Harvard’s role, I am reminded of the words above Dexter Gate: ‘Enter to grow in wisdom’ and ‘Depart to serve better thy country and thy kind.’ Harvard must continue to produce new knowledge and sit at the center of innovation, create a diverse and safe community where students can be challenged and challenge each other, and cultivate a sense of purpose and commitment to justice. Harvard is a place that has given me so much, and being able to give back would be a privilege.”
