About

Hi! I'm Bethany. I'm a public health professional who is passionate about the intersection of public health, policy, and communications. This site is a hub for some of my thoughts and side projects - feel free to take a look!

A little bit about me:

I have my Master of Public Health in Health Promotion, as well as my Honours Bachelor of Science, from the University of Toronto. I also recently completed my Certificate in Strategic Public Relations.

Professionally, my passions lie within public health policy (and/or healthy public policy), communications, and government relations. I love it!

On a more personal note:

This website is a hub for some of my thoughts and side projects - and also some digital communications 'experiments' - i.e., I just launched my first podcast on this site! Take a look at the 'Building Resilience' podcast tab for more info.

I also love supporting the next generation, including helping potential or new MPH students! I've had quite a few students (from a range of schools) reach out to me since I graduated from my own MPH. My views are my own, of course, and I don't represent any organization's views or opinions. But I'm happy to answer any questions about graduate school life or doing an MPH - at least to the best of my abilities, and based on my personal experience. Potential and new MPH students - feel free to contact me via the 'Contact' form on this site, if you'd like to chat.
