“Attending Presidio Graduate School really opened my mind about systems and systems thinking within the framework of the triple bottom line. I could now see healthcare and healthcare inequities as a part of this larger and more complex system—education, economics, housing, food, the environment, and our overall democracy—which I came to see is tied to systemic racism. Because of this knowledge, my career pursuits have completely changed. It is my professional calling to be a part of the collective solution to address systemic racism in order to bring holistic societal change.”
