Joseph is finishing medical school this year at Columbia University in New York City and plans to begin a combined residency in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. He hopes to work in global health for people of all ages and in under-resourced settings, and especially with adolescents and invisible struggles. Joseph's experiences in healthcare and psychology include the Yale Child Study Center, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, the Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research (Australia), the Public Health Foundation of India, and Kijabe Hospital (Nairobi). He is an avid pianist-keyboardist and has found joy in leading and learning from such diverse music groups as the Broadway Haven Players and the Yale Gospel Choir. Joseph has had a stutter since the age of six, and his experience of stuttering has deepened his own development and identity in profound ways.
