My name is Tegan, and I am on a mission to make the world better through research and scholarship. My work spans social impact, academia, and media. With a strong commitment to change-making, I have led philanthropic and international development initiatives across the US and Africa, leveraging my expertise in communication and program management. Addressing global issues such as HIV/AIDS, neglected tropical diseases, COVID-19, and malaria, I develop behavior change strategies, lead vaccination campaigns, mobilize resources, and shape advocacy efforts.
