Cecilia Bedard

I am a second-year Master of Public Health and Master of Public Administration (MPH/MPA) student with the Colorado School of Public Health in the Community and Behavioral Health and Global Health concentration and the School of Public Affairs at the University of Colorado Denver & Anschutz. I have an academic background in environmental management and anthropology and have conducted policy research into wild species management, and ethnographic research in Mexico on the effects of the Zika virus. My current research is primarily in sexual and reproductive health as it pertains to gender equity and population health, but I also have a wide range of interests including policy to address environmental health and climate change.
