Biography
Prior to arriving at The Brown School, Peter worked at various bay area startups and EdTech, and as a jack-of-all-trades in NYC’s film and broadcast media industry. He is primarily interested in mobilizing collaboration between researchers and communities to find ways to mitigate the downstream effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences, with a particular focus on scaling trauma resolution as a pathway to addressing substance use/addiction. Peter’s interests are greatly informed by his lived experience in Detroit and NYC’s late-90s rave underground. He has an MPH (policy track) from George Washington University, an MA in Philosophy and Culture from The University of Chicago, and is a predoctoral Fellow in the Transdisciplinary Training in Addictions Research (TransSTAR) T32 Program.
