A high ranking public health official with a background in education. Interesting. I guess Quinn couldn’t find anyone with extensive experience in public health and has an MPH/DPh so he chose a Latina to score a few extra points with the Latin community? What a genius. Actually, i’m being cynical. I really wish Ms. Garate the best. I believe she will do a good job!!!
