I have worked extensively with the World Health Organization and other international organizations, and have engaged with a range of national and international civil society groups, particularly in the implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, a UN health treaty.
I have worked with several agencies, including the WHO and National Cancer Institute in the development of monographs and white papers on tobacco, cancer and NCDs control and the role of the tobacco industry in undermining public health.
Additionally, since 2001 I have collaborated with Dean Linda Sarna (UCLA) in establishing the Tobacco Free Nurses initiative, working in the US and abroad to support capacity building of nurses to engage in tobacco control and policy.I was the President of the International Society of Nurses in Cancer Care from 2014 to 2018.
