EP168 The AGPHI Experience: Developing Public Health Leaders with Nene Uwaomah and Haya Srour


Listen Later

In this episode, we meet Nene Uwaomah (MPH '25) and Haya Srour (MPH '25), who played key leadership roles in the Applied Global Public Health Initiative (AGPHI) during their time at NYU GPH. We track their academic and professional journeys, from their pre-public health backgrounds—Nene in pre-med and Haya as a dietician—to their hands-on work with communities around the globe. They discuss how AGPHI provides a platform to apply classroom knowledge to real-world projects, shaping global research in places like Zambia and the Middle East. Learn about their impactful work, including Nene's efforts to increase early antenatal care uptake in Zambia and Haya's role in UNICEF's global education program. Nene and Haya both highlight the strong sense of community at GPH and how the faculty and students work together to solve problems. This episode is a powerful testament to how a public health degree can provide the opportunities, skills, and confidence to make a tangible difference in the world.
