Having worked as a clinician during the Ebola outbreak in 2014-2016 in Liberia, Wahdae-Mai Harmon grew increasingly convinced of the need for change in the public health system in Liberia. Believing that she could have more impact on a larger scale in this arena, she changed careers and moved into public health. This change in direction led Wahdae-Mai to IHTM.
