I’m from #Haiti and came to the US (among other reasons) to further my education. We’ll skip the earlier years but if you’re interested in where I went to college, let me know. I was a clinical psych major #AdrienTwitterTakeover
Took a year off after undergrad. Then ended up @EmoryRollins where I was #GlEpi. After working @UCLAchpr (I learned a lot), I ended up @CDCgov because my team was looking for French speaking epidemiologists to support the EVD outbreak response in Guinea #AdrienTwitterTakeover
La France ayant colonisé un tiers du monde à un certain moment...I was able to leverage my language and epi skills from supporting the EVD outbreak to collaborating and learning from colleagues in Senegal, DRC, Côte D’Ivoire etc...to develop infection control and AMR programs
“Donc vous voyez, il faut pas se concentrer sur les effets nocifs de l’histoire mais plutôt soyez reconnaissants pour ces cadeaux” #AdrienTwitterTakeover.
I really enjoyed my work on infection control and AMR. I traveled a lot, learned a lot. Worked on an C. auris outbreak investigation in Panama. But was moving further and further away from epi as I had known it as the time went on #AdrienTwitterTakeover
After 2 years, I joined the Global Immunization Division at CDC to support work on vaccine introductions, particular oral cholera vaccines. Speaking of, did you know OCVs were a thing? #AdrienTwitterTakeover
