Paula Tran Inzeo was a
Population Health Service Fellow from 2010 through 2012 with a dual placement
at the Wisconsin Division of Public Health and the Wisconsin Center for Health
Equity. Prior to the Fellowship, Paula earned her MPH from the University of
Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health.
The
Fellowship allowed Paula to refine her passion for health equity, specifically
the critical role of deep community engagement and collective action in health
equity strategies. Her experiences during the Fellowship allowed her to lay a
strong foundation for her current work, which keeps her very busy.
In
2013, Paula received the Outstanding Student Award from the American Public
Health Association Council of Affiliates. She is a PhD student at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Human Ecology and the Assistant
Director at the University of Wisconsin Center for Nonprofits. As Assistant
Director, she is working to grow the Center for Nonprofits’ Action Research
Program and outreach efforts and serves as the Transform Wisconsin Health
Equity Coordinator.
Paula’s
advice to current and former Fellows: “Take full advantage of the opportunities
the fellowship offers related to building relationships (professional and
personal), training and professional development, and solidifying your identity
as a public health practitioner. Take risks, explore interests, have fun and do
so with humility.”
