Professional Life

I am a Boston College alum with a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Marketing, a minor in Philosophy, and a concentration of studies in Graphic Design.  Since graduating in 2009 I have worn many metaphorical hats (often balancing multiple on my head), including Mobile Telemedicine Program Manager, mHealth Consultant, New Media Consultant/Lecturer, and freelance Photographer, Graphic Designer, and Landscaper.

Currently, I live in Gaborone, Botswana where I work as the Mobile Telemedicine Program Manager for the Botswana-UPenn Partnership.  I enjoy the gig.

Ryan is based in the capital city of Gaborone, but he has extensive mHealth implementation experience through Botswana, in addition to mHealth consulting experience with the CDC in Kenya and the Clinton Foundation in Botswana.
