Bio
Matt Jackson
Chris demonstrated a deep understanding of how Public Health works at the National, State, and local levels. This was important as many of the participants were from foreign countries and were not versed in how our system works. Chris was able to succinctly explain the nuances of PH in the US as well as make valuable contributions to the current topics - Behavioral Insights (behavior change) - in the smaller group meetings and the larger classroom. In addition, Chris was personable and demonstrated diplomacy and acumen in solving problems and giving advice.
