Population Health Service Fellow, 2014-2016
Fellowship placements: Wisconsin Division of Public Health, Maternal and Child Health Program and Public Health Madison & Dane County
Madison, WI
What projects are you currently working on?
I am working on many projects! My main
projects currently are: 1) a needs assessment around sexual and reproductive
health in Dane County; 2) co-facilitating a Collaborative Improvement and
Innovation Network (CoIIN) to reduce infant mortality in Wisconsin, focusing on
criminal justice reform and tax credits; and 3) a process evaluation of the
Perinatal Nurse Home Visiting program at Public Health Madison & Dane
County.
Why did you decide to pursue a career in public
health?
I wanted to work on prevention and upstream
indicators for health. It just makes so much sense to focus there!
After I took my first public health class, there was no going back.
What made you decide to join the fellowship
program as opposed to other career or educational options?
I thought it was a great opportunity to explore different avenues of
public health and to grow my list of skills and experiences.
What has been your favorite part of the
fellowship?
Meeting so many awesome
people working in public health!
What is one of the most important things you have
learned over the course of your fellowship so far?
If you feel uncomfortable, it means you will learn a ton! Take
risks!
What’s your favorite restaurant in Madison?
Brasserie V!!
