More than 20 years of global health research experience have provided me with extensive experience with the design, implementation and analysis of randomized controlled trials, cross-sectional hospital- and community-based surveys, longitudinal cohort studies, and qualitative research. During this period of time, I have mentored numerous US and LMIC pre- and post-doctoral candidates on global health research projects. During the last six years, I have served as a co-investigator on the HBNU consortium Fogarty global health research training grant. In this role, I have played multiple roles including chairing the Mentoring Committee and organizing a workshop for training LMIC mentors.
