The women who lead our global health programs come from all walks of life. They and their stories are as diverse as the countries in which they work and the people they serve.
We Lead: A JSI Podcast
JSI is stronger because of the diversity of the women who lead our health programs globally. They bring a multiplicity of perspectives and experience to the decision-making table, which strengthens our programming and management worldwide.
In this series, we explore the personal and professional stories of six women who lead some of JSI’s global health programs. We’ll learn how they started their public health careers, how their personal stories affect their professional lives, what makes them successful leaders, and what advice they have for young professionals just starting their careers.
