Public health program coordinator at Boston Medical Center supporting Birth Sisters and equitable maternal health.

United States
Message

At Boston Medical Center’s Birth Sisters Program, I coordinate operations, reporting systems, referrals, and stakeholder communications for an equity-focused health program serving BIPOC families. I also constructed a Redcap database to streamline administrative workflow and data exportation.

I coordinated grant deliverables and programmatic reporting for a $200k, multi-year BESIDE Investment Program Award. I design communications materials and website content, and collaborate with L&D leadership and Patient Advocacy on equity initiatives.

At Neighborhood Birth Center, I collaborate on budget planning, staffing support, and community engagement, and have developed digital communications and facilitated community events. As a trained birth and postpartum doula and policy advocate, I also support equitable, community-based doula care and Medicaid reimbursement initiatives.
