Teonna McCullum: A Good Start in Tampa
My first official day at Tampa Bay Wave was on Monday, May 22nd. I had moved into my new apartment a week prior, so I had time to get accustomed to the area.

The Cultural Environment in Cusco
I am now home from my experience in Cusco, and I have had some time to reflect on the cultural environment and the community there. I think that I did have some culture shock when I first arrived, but over time I became more accustomed to the way of life there. Probably the biggest changeContinue reading “The Cultural Environment in Cusco”
A Recent Story that Resonates with Me
A new story that caught my eye recently was one from the New York Times about a Fentanyl dispensary in Vancouver. I work on a public health project called Overdose Data to Action, and through this project I have learned a lot about harm reduction strategies. These are initiatives that are actually proven to reduceContinue reading “A Recent Story that Resonates with Me”
