Biography

I have worked professionally in medicine, surgery, public health, and psychiatry. I was a physician assistant from 1983 until I retired in 2010.

In 1984, I ran an outpatient clinic for the American Refugee Committee in Nong Samet Refugee Camp on the Thai-Cambodian border. I then volunteered as a surgical assistant at the Huria Kristen Batak Protestant Hospital in Balige, Sumatra, Indonesia. I worked in the prison infirmary at the North Central Correctional Institution in Massachusetts for three years, then joined the Peace Corps and served as a health volunteer in Guinea-Bissau, where I ran a community health center. Having acquired a working knowledge of Portuguese, I then went to Mozambique, where I worked in a prosthetics assistance project for amputees, run by Health Volunteers Overseas. From there, I went to Angola, where I was site manager in an immunization program run by the International Medical Corps. From 1996 until 1997 I ran a malaria control program for Doctors Without Borders in the Yanomami indigenous area in Brazil, continuing the same program for CCPY from 1998 until 2001. After obtaining a Master's Degree in public health at Boston University, I ran a health education program for Survivor Corps until 2010. I taught at James Madison University, where I supervised peer support programs for survivors of war-related violence who are affected by PTSD. I was a Visiting Assistant Professor there until 2017.

At various times, I have also worked in an abortion clinic, on an organ transplant team, in a psychiatric hospital, in a methadone clinic, in the Mozambican Ministry of Health, as assistant to an orthopedic surgeon, and as a consultant for the Clinton Foundation and for the CDC. I have 14 publications in peer-reviewed journals, on infectious disease, public health and peer support for survivors of war-related trauma. I now work as a Crisis Intervention Clinician in a hospital emergency room.

I am interested in:

Infectious diseases
Public health
American fiction and criticism during and after World War II
The history of Brazil, Mozambique, Angola, Cambodia, Thailand and Indonesia
Indigenous peoples in Africa, Asia, and the Americas
The history of Native American Indians
The colonial history of Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania during the 17th and 18th centuries
Representations of magic and witchcraft in folklore
Refugees and internally displaced persons
Humanitarian aid agencies and aid workers
Refugee camps on the Thai-Cambodian border, 1970s to 1993
Biographical articles of all kinds
Peer support for survivors of psychological trauma due to war-related violence.
The life of Mary Draper Ingles, one of my ancestors, and of other colonial-era Americans who recorded captivity narratives about being taken prisoner by Native Americans or by the French.
