Sophia Anyatonwu MPH, CPH, CIC®

Motivated by challenges, working with passionate leaders, and exploring solutions. Currently on a much-needed leadership sabbatical. I have future goals to use my skills in a strengths-based team and environment. Apart from this, I have a desire to leave behind a legacy of beauty and freedom as part of my life's work.

I can usually be found helping to address local gaps/needs. This has allowed me to contribute to work in many different areas. Here are a few examples:

PAST (2014-2020)

-Evaluating a maternal mortality review committee
-Assisting a Medicare-certified hospice with meeting its 5% cost-savings volunteer metric
-Building an organization to help graduate students become competitive for relevant epidemiologist jobs
-Contributing to local efforts aimed at preventing youth from being trafficked
-Developing consultation services focused on coaching leaders and team members into their roles
-Creating an initiative aimed at helping public health departments invest in developing a baseline surveillance skillset across their organization
-Creating an initiative aimed at helping epidemiologists utilize their skills strategically in order to impact communities and those in their spheres of influence
-Collaborating within professional communities of practice to deliver research, practice-based, or membership products
-Infectious disease case investigation and outbreak prevention

CURRENT (2020)
