I first became interested in epidemiology while in school at WKU and an internship with the reportable disease section at the Kentucky Department for Public Health under TJ Sugg helped further that interest. Though my journey into Harm Reduction was a serendipitous one, I found I could combine my love for data and helping folks in real time.
With helped from folks like Jody Jaggers with the Kentucky Pharmacist Association the Mobile Harm Reduction program was launched in 2017. That started a now 6-and-a-half-year carrier in harm reduction in Kentucky. I’ve been lucky enough in that time to see an increase in the number of syringe service program, be apart of every harm reduction summit, including planning the 2018 summit and the beginning of KIRP Target 4. It has been a pleasure to be a part of the KIRP administration team and see the significant positive impact our program has had on harm reduction in Kentucky.
