GEH Ambassadors

Meg is a second-year dual-degree MPH/MSW student in the Global Health concentration. She graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2017 with a degree in Urban Studies and spent time in the nonprofit sector and as a community health worker (CHW) in an underserved primary care setting before coming to NYU. Her time as a CHW illustrated the many complements between the public health and social work fields and the value of a multidisciplinary approach to complex, structural issues, leading her to pursue the dual degree pathway. Meg is a member of the Global Action for Urban Health Lab and is completing her second-year social work field work at SAGE, focusing on intergenerational initiatives to advance community health. 

Ami is a first-year MPH student in the Global Health concentration at New York University. She graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Political Science with concentrations in world and comparative politics, minors in French Language & Literature and Gender, Sexuality & Women's Studies, and a certificate in Global Studies. Before starting at NYU, she worked for 2.5 years at RTI International as a Project Associate in the International Education division of the International Development Group. In addition to her academic pursuits, she is a research associate with the Applied Global Public Health Initiative and on the Executive Board of the Black Women's Health Collective as Secretary. She is most interested in applying intersectional and interdisciplinary approaches to address disparities in maternal and child health globally, particularly in contexts of displacement and co-existing marginalizations.
