Tiffany grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, and Tampa, Florida. She completed her undergraduate studies in Psychology at Drexel University. After college, she volunteered with a medical team in Bolivia and worked as a foster care social worker in Philadelphia. Eventually, she returned to work in mental health as a clinical research coordinator in Psychiatry, where she managed studies examining drug efficacy, relapse prevention and pharmacogenomics for anxiety and depression. She co-authored several peer-reviewed publications on this research. Tiffany earned her Master's in Public Heath from the University of Pennsylvania, concentrating in Global Health. She completed her Master's internship in Nicaragua with Acción Médica Cristiana, a community health NGO. There, she learned from and worked alongside community health workers, focusing on health education and outreach for maternal and child health, food security and access to medication. Tiffany also led workshops on nutrition and baking in the maternity and community houses throughout rural Matagalpa. She hopes to use these experiences and her mental health background to bring a unique perspective into her work as a GHC fellow. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, yoga, sewing and traveling.
