About Amelia Heckman
As a recent Master of Public Health graduate in Global Epidemiology at Emory University, I am committed to using data to inform public health strategies and improve community health outcomes. My hands-on experience spans diverse global settings, including rural Guatemala, Ghana, and the U.S, where I’ve honed strong skills in epidemiologic research, data management, and program evaluation. I’ve had the opportunity to conduct impactful fieldwork, such as leading a community health needs assessment in Guatemala and evaluating vaccine effectiveness through a national case-control study. I thrive in cross-cultural environments and am passionate about utilizing both qualitative and quantitative research to tackle complex public health challenges. Proficient in SAS, R, Python, and other tools, I focus on making data-driven decisions that influence policy and practice.
