Greetings! My friend and colleague Nse Obot Witherspoon (ED of the Children’s Environmental Health Network) participated in this training. I would welcome the opportunity to participate in another training when one is available. I am a Research Professor in public health at U Mass Lowell, with a focus on integrating environmental interventions into chronic disease prevention.
Current work includes co-leading the Health/Science workgroup (“Node”) and serving on the Network Council of the Cancer-Free Economy Network, which prioritizes equity in a systems-based effort to scale transitions away from hazardous chemicals and technologies. Human-to-human connection has been central in my work, and my enjoyment of it; I’m drawn to deepening that work in the context of dismantling racism.
