Hey there.

I'm Takari, and I'm interested in community health and safety, research, and communicating data in ways that support positive change and empower people to make informed decisions.

My interest in public health stems from my involvement with community organizations in Lowell. As I begin this next chapter at UMass Boston, I'm looking forward to continuing that work and finding new ways to contribute to the health and well-being of my community.
