Communications and Member Engagement Intern

Mikayla Holzwarth is the Communications and Member Engagement intern at the Planetary Health Alliance. Her health promotion, advocacy, and engagement work spans academic, non-profit, government, and private sectors - all working to improve health outcomes where systems intersect. 

She recently completed her Master’s in Health Management from Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health where she supported both the Planetary Health Alliance as well as the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative. Prior to graduate school, she served in Peace Corps Ecuador as a Health and Gender Equity volunteer, in addition to work at a health tech startup focused on ending health disparities in a complex primary care setting. She received her Bachelor’s degree from CUNY Hunter’s School of Urban Public Health, where she spent her time as a research assistant in an HIV prevention social behavior lab and curated a website on health literacy.

Mikayla loves growing, cooking and eating good food, climbing, and spending time with her cat.
