New Employee Spotlight: Nadra C. Tyus, DrPH Joins Community Science
Community Science is pleased to welcome Nadra C. Tyus, DrPH, as a Managing Associate. She brings to our group a new voice for addressing community and behavioral health issues. Nadra was Health Program Manager at the Black Women's Health Imperative, a national nonprofit that addresses health issues disproportionately affecting Black women. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the Johns Hopkins University Urban Health Institute (UHI) at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Through UHI, she conducted several pilot research studies examining social and environmental factors contributing to disparate health issues including poverty, access to health care, relationships, cancer, and STDs/HIV.
Nadra also has experience working with community leaders and groups to build capacity to address health inequities and has led several community health studies. "It's exciting to join an organization that shares my passion for community and also offers a great frame work for rigorous capacity-building and evaluation. I look forward to this opportunity and challenge," she says.
