Chloe Updegraff

As a public health and community development specialist, I create positive change and improve health outcomes in partnership with communities. I do this by working directly with community members and organizations to assess the greatest needs and barriers and then work as a team to bring solutions that lift everyone up. I have used my skills in public health and community engagement to make impacts in diverse places from Haiti, to Tribal populations in Michigan, to rural low-income New England communities. In the future, I want to use my skills in community development, health education, and program management to improve health equity, health access, and community empowerment.
