We will be inviting up to 5 service members, fellows or alums to attend a career coaching call with Alum Kristi Silva.
We'll talk with Kristi for no more than 1 hour. Her bio is below:
Kristi Silva has 10 years’ experience as a researcher specializing in health equity and health communication across local, state, and federal projects. As a Senior Research Associate at the Center for Applied Research Solutions, her work is concentrated in three areas: improving health outcomes in the most disadvantaged communities, creating better tools to build a future of health equity, and advocating for evidence-based health policies and practices. She is also a TA Specialist for five grantees of a new federal program, Resilience in Communities After Stress and Trauma (ReCAST). Kristi is driven quite simply by a commitment to serve others and the belief that good health is a human right. She seeks to understand how language and cultural constructs drive health behaviors in order to most effectively and equitably serve marginalized communities of color.
Before her current position, Kristi worked as a Program Director for the National Latino Behavioral Health Association, FoodCorps Service Member, Adjunct Professor of Multicultural Health at Drake University Global Public Health, and Guest Scientist at the Technical University of Munich Institute for Public Health Research. She is President of the Board of Directors at Las Cumbres Community Services, President of the Board of Directors at Farm to Table, and had the opportunity to participate in the FoodCorps Alumni of Color Cohort and FoodCorps Policy Institute in partnership with the Pew Charitable Trust. She earned a M.A. in Hispanic Linguistics and Health Communication from the University of Texas at Austin before beginning her PhD in Behavioral Epidemiology at the University of Texas School of Public Health.
