I have a long I'll give the short end of it are somehow I ended up in my current position, which is a senior research analyst at coming grown Hubble. So comical help is they need not for profit, that specializes in how all of the and help plan in the Finger Lakes region. So we're in Western your but my career trajectory, Really, in case in Jamaica, that's where I was born. That's where I grew up. Um, I started, um, interesting was primarily in sociology and really ho systems work at Holy Interact with the Systems Patty Murray medication at the time.

Um, whether it is the purpose of the system. So education. I also learnt about how thinks I'm in that time p read. So I did my under when I concluded my undergraduate work has actually changed. Major is interestingly, uh, from legals horizontal time to forensic psychology. And I ended up doing my masters at the same time while I was doing my bachelors course for. So I ended up from Canton a bachelors and masters at the same time and relating it to the quiet Frank. It's all the skills that I learned in my Masters program, but I'm still utilizing right now. So at 46 psychology at John Jay, um, is very research heavy. And Vermont focus on using tools and techniques and statistics toe understand and to develop type apologies off criminal behavior and understanding, um, criminal intent. Really. All of those, um, those pills that learns there that I built upon and I'm you took fighting right now in my current feel. Um, and of course, some of the skills that I honed over time in my PhD program

well, let's see. So the responsibilities I'll do that part first. It's reading broad, ranging because we at common grown service A or focus on nine comfy region ranging from or covering geography is including a large metro in the area. Very well. Community is the scope of my responsibilities very so prime. But I'll touch on what I primarily do. So I full cuts AIDS on the social determinants of help and understanding hobo social determinants of health. Impact the communities within the finger re Finger Lakes region primarily.
