An interview with the founder is below:

What was your earliest ambition as a child? To run for political office. I did serve as 6th grade class president and senior class president in high school before entering the health care arena.

What was your best career move? Getting my PhD in public health.

Summarize your personality in three words. Outgoing, progressive, conscientiousness.

What motivates you? Having the privilege of presenting health information in a way that patients and the public can understand. Dealing with an illness, whether it’s acute or chronic, can be overwhelming. Effective health communication can help reduce the cognitive and emotional burden for patients and families in challenging situations. Likewise, health care businesses often don’t have the time or expertise to write the health materials they need to achieve their goals. 360 Health Media is here to fill this role.

What book should every healthcare provider read? Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.

When are you the happiest? When I’m talking to family members, patients, or the general public about how to find trusted sources of health information. There is so much misinformation in the world. We all have to be mindful about what health information we consume.

How would you spend your favorite day? Listening to an audiobook or podcast while walking outside in nature.
Who is the person you would most like to thank and why? A physician’s assistant from my old church in California. She was the first person to me to the field public health.
