Paul’s Role in 180: Consulting Director, Team Leader, Student Consultant
I joined 180DC because I was immediately drawn to the 180DC’s mission - improving the effectiveness of not-for-profits making tangible differences.
As a pre-medical student, my passion for tackling the social determinants of health found solace in 180DC’s work with elevating community not-for-profits such as Boston Healthcare for the Homeless.
Having served as a Team Leader and currently, as a Consulting Director, the projects I’ve been involved in provided opportunities to practice leadership, cross-cultural collaboration, interdisciplinary problem solving, and data analysis - skills that I have added to my repertoire as an aspiring healthcare provider.
Being able to support the endeavors of not-for-profits that address the social determinants of health has made joining 180DC one of the best decisions of my pre-medical career.
