  HOMECOMING: Dignity-Based Supports for HIV-Positive Ex-Prisoners

  May 2021 - Dec 2021

  Health Policy Intern

  HOMECOMING is a multimedia project of the US's HUD aimed at audiences within the HIV, housing, criminal justice, and support-services systems, to foster effective multi-sector collaborations that assist returning HIV+ ex-prisoners in building strong networks, maintaining health and wellbeing, and participating in their communities in meaningful ways. It is part of the federal "Ending the HIV Epidemic" initiative, which aims to reduce HIV transmissions in the U.S. by 90% before 2030. As a public health policy intern, I participated in the elaboration of detailed reports on past and current policies aimed at HIV+ and homeless populations, distributing biweekly newsletters, and contributed in the drafting of comprehensive best-practices guidelines and recommendations in official HOPWA resources.https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/hopwa/homecoming/ Show less

  Medstone Science

  Together with the Technical Director and the leadership team, we coordinate the development of new consultancy projects within the pharmaceutical sector, with the help of our Research Associates. We use our AI-powered platform to collect and process large amounts of scientific data and then interpret it to provide strategical insights, comparative analyses and evidence-based advice to our clients. I joined the scientific consultancy team at Medstone to support in an ongoing assessment for a client. I conducted extensive research on medical laboratory equipment and summarized findings in scope of the project's goals, prepared the appropriate presentations in collaboration with the team, and presented our findings to the client.
