About Bekah Curtis-Heald

I am a multi-disciplinary professional dedicated to furthering equity and social justice through the power of partnerships. Now working as an independent consultant, I previously worked at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York City where I focused on health and disaster resilience and led CGI’s work in the Caribbean region through its Action Network on Post-Disaster Recovery. During my time at CGI, I facilitated working groups to foster collaboration and coordinated action among a diverse range of stakeholders and developed projects aimed at addressing a variety of environmental and social challenges. Before working at CGI, I gained experience at a range of international organizations in the US and overseas. I hold a BA in International Affairs with a concentration in Public Health from George Washington University in Washington, D.C, and a MSc in Development Studies from SOAS, University of London in the United Kingdom. I’m originally from Maine and I love food, learning languages, traveling, being by the ocean, and walking and running outdoors.
