ABOUT ME

Welcome to my writing portfolio! I'm Lia—a Master of Public Health student at the University of Washington with a passion for research, storytelling, and community impact. My work bridges communications, public health education, journalism, policy research, and community organizing. I am especially passionate about tackling the loneliness epidemic in the U.S., and advocating for programs and policies that strengthen the social infrastructure and connections that form thriving communities.

​

During my public health studies, I've had the privilege of working directly with communities to address population-wide health challenges. Beyond public health, I bring experience in digital marketing, journalism, and social media strategy, using communication as a tool for education, advocacy, and engagement. 

 

My academic foundation in philosophy and ethics has shaped my approach to research, writing, and problem-solving. Skills like critical thinking, logic and reason, and open-minded analysis drive my commitment to truth-telling, accuracy, and high-quality research in all my work.

This portfolio includes dedicated sections for my work in journalism and undergraduate work in philosophy. Thank you for visiting!
