Throughout his 32 year federal career he was (and still is) an innovative thinker and one who pushed the needle forward with things like eradicating avian influenza from the live bird market system in NYC, eradicating pseudorabies from the US domestic swine herds, introducing the Incident Command System to Veterinary Services, building the APHIS EOC, building emergency programs activities from being a second thought to a world class response organization. He managed USDA’s engagement in the White House’s Avian and Pandemic Influenza Preparedness implementation plan while on detail to the USDA Secretary’s Office, leading the USDA International Avian and Pandemic Influenza Response Team, developing a Crisis Management Center at the Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome, leading USDA on Global Health Security at the White House, initiating the USDA wide One Health Joint Working Group, the Federal Interagency One Health Working Group, and finally founding and leading the USDA One Health Coordination Center. He now runs a non-profit Association of Federal Veterinarians where he is working with Congress to further establish One Health as the normative approach to resolving issues in biological systems.

I am a veterinarian who celebrates her individuality and I choose to be positive in all
aspects of my life and smile from my hurt . In addition to that, when I was a student in veterinary medicine, I have discussed infectious, zoonotic and communicable diseases topics in my undergraduate projects, where the first one was about the Surra disease, and the second one was about the African Horse Sickness sickness, which both of them are vector borne diseases. Also during my masters degree in Public health , I had consistently demonstrated research abilities in every aspect of my academic and professional role, as our thesis topic is related to the role of the Jordanian veterinarian in tackling AMR.

I am a passionate proponent of One Health as a clinical veterinarian turned researcher. My whole life has been defined by the idea behind One Health as I started out as an Agriculture Science major focusing on food production, become a veterinarian who practices large animal medicine for over a decade, and then finished a PhD in biomedical science with an emphasis in epidemiology. I wanted to be the person at the table who understood agriculture and animal medicine and how it so well fit into human medicine and public health. I am now an Assistant Professor in Epidemiology and my focus in molecular epidemiology with an emphasis on emerging infectious diseases. I would enjoy the opportunity to help others see how their unique background could fill a niche in public health practice with a focus on viewing all problems through a "One Health" lens.
