Maya Lawson, MPH, Director of Operations & Business Development

Maya is a public health advocate with a focus on community engagement. She received her BS and MPH from NYU, where she was one of the founding members of the Black and Latino Health Caucus. After studying with a focus on medicine, she eventually found that her true passion was public health policy.

During graduate school, she spent time interning at an architecture firm examining health impacts caused by building design and workplace policies. Her experience within an area not typically associated with health helped further her belief in the importance of engaging a diverse array of professions and people in pursuit of a more holistic view of health.

Maya is currently a first year law student. She is active on Twitter @mayablah talking about pop culture and public health. You can contact her at mlawson@healthinherhue.com.
