Bio
Derek Schmitz
Tory is an exceptional colleague. I work with her closely on the COVID vaccination and testing scheduling efforts at Neighborhood Access. She excels in her extensive knowledge of policy and has innovative ideas about what's wrong in the government (specifically the COVID response) and what we could be doing better. I truly appreciate her input and value the time I spend working with her.
