RESEARCH LEAD
Being part of Sumood gives a deeper sense of purpose to my societal contribution as a scientist.
It connects my research to children and families who are most in need of timely, evidence-based interventions that support optimal developmental outcomes. A core mission of my research identity is to understand how science can be steered to meet the needs of children raised in adversity and to help offset developmental disadvantages through culturally-sensitive action. I am deeply inspired by Sumood’s philanthropic drive and community-centered vision. Being on the ground with Sumood for our latest project in Zanzibar has reshaped my perception of the world and reinforced the core values that guide my personal and professional life.
