Hi Erin,
What amazing travels you are having! I am a patient of Dr. Heald's and he suggested I contact you when I saw him in January. I just finished my Masters at the Harvard School of Public Health and have been meaning to get in touch with you for months, school work was very distracting! I am on the job search now for program development/management positions in developing countries that have a health communication component to them preferably. I am looking for positions that work on HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other infectious diseases either based here in the U.S. or living abroad. I would be really interested to hear about the work you are doing. If you are willing, please let me know what would be the best way to be in touch, either over email and/or set up a time to talk. I am based in the DC area right now but will also be up in Boston. Look forward to hearing from you. Cheers, Liesl
