What inspires you to work in the HIV field?

My inspiration is to help build capacity in both research and clinical care to benefit children living with HIV and HIV-related co-infections.

What are your goals as an IAS change maker?

My main goal is to serve as a resource and mentor for more junior colleagues interested in working either clinically or in research to benefit children living with HIV and HIV-related co-infections.
