From Jamie Delaney

While pursuing my MPH degree, APE internship, and capstone, the Community Health Justice Lab has been integral to my academic and professional development, allowing me the space, opportunities, and growth to apply my academic learning and lived experience expertise to real-world, meaningful research and change. When I am not in the lab, I enjoy reading, exploring nature, playing soccer, and volunteering with Results Educational Fund Inc. to advocate for policies helping to end poverty.
