Why Trust Me With Your Health Abroad?
I’m not a travel medicine doctor who learned about the world from textbooks – I’ve lived it.
I’ve diagnosed malaria in Ugandan villages, taught HIV and TB to physicians-in-training in Tanzania, and personally navigated the health systems in 38 countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. I know what it’s like to be sick far from home, to navigate a pharmacy where you don’t speak the language, and to decide at 2am whether something warrants finding more urgent care.
My background:
18+ months living and working in East Africa as a Peace Corps volunteer and medical educator
Diploma in Tropical Medicine & Hygiene from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (studied in Tanzania and Uganda)
Board-certified Family Medicine physician with expertise in global health systems
Master’s in Public Health from George Washington University, where I later taught Comparative Global Health Systems
Trained physicians in the US, Kenya, and Uganda on managing neglected tropical diseases and non-communicable conditions
I’ve dealt with travelers’ diarrhea more times than I can count and learned which medications you can reliably find in a Nairobi pharmacy. That real-world experience means I can give you practical, tested advice – not just guidelines from a manual.
