Maddie Stephani
She/Her/Hers
Passionate about: Since becoming a part of public health, my interests and values have aligned with epidemiology, specifically prevention. In addition to epidemiology, I have a blooming enthusiasm for sociology. My time spent studying has given me a unique perspective and deep sense of cultural humility that will allow me to not only work well with diverse populations, but build a foundation of trust and respect.
In my free time... I enjoy thrifting, reality television, crafting, playing cribbage, journaling, reading, and watching sports, as well as spending time with my friends and family.
