CUNY SPH is delighted to welcome Naana Dei to the staff as administrative executive assistant to Senior Associate Dean for Student and Academic Affairs Terry McGovern. In this role, she supports the Sexual and Reproductive Justice Hub (SRJ Hub) in various areas including project management and coordination, curriculum support and development, and event planning.
Naana is a proud alumna of CUNY SPH, where she earned her MPH in health policy and management. She is a passionate health equity advocate and fierce champion for reproductive justice and evidence-based alcohol policy.
She brings a unique blend of experience as a former community organizer for the CUNY Urban Food Policy Institute and the chair of the Ontario Drug Policy and Research Network in Toronto, Canada. During her time as a student, she explored addressing maternal mortality rates among Black American women and period poverty as a public health issue. As an alcohol policy fellow at the Alcohol Action Network, she is interested in exploring the intersection of alcohol use disorder and pregnant people of color. She is passionate about leveraging her experience as a Black, immigrant woman, to uplift marginalized communities of color and uphold their right to equitable health care.
Please join us in welcoming Naana, who can be reached at Naana.Dei@sph.cuny.edu.
