About Elizabeth Pagan Fairagan
I have fifteen years of professional experience in international development, community health, and cross-cultural exchange. I currently work to advance heart health and healthy living across Washington state at the American Heart Association. I am driven by my values of authenticity, vulnerability, gratitude, and kindness. I build community and advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. My strengths include leadership, strategic planning, program management, training, facilitation, and relationship building.I hold an MSc Development Studies from the London School of Economics and Political Science and a BA International Affairs and a BA Political Science from the Florida State University. My leadership style is guided by this quote by Maya Angelou:\"I\'ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.\"I spend my spare time reading, hiking, drinking tea, traveling, and appreciating and cultivating art!
