Since arriving at Rutgers’ Bloustein School last year, Katie has sought to integrate her students’ lived experiences into public health policy by encouraging them to critically examine the trade-offs between individual freedoms and collective well-being.

Student Spotlight: Bernice Amankwah, Health Administration ’25
“Growing up, I witnessed firsthand the challenges many people faced in accessing healthcare due to limited resources and personnel, and I aspired to work in healthcare. As a research fellow with the Ralph W. Voorhees Fellowship Program in Public Service and intern at the New Jersey State Policy Lab, I had the opportunity to explore person-centered care, maternal health disparities, and policy impacts on community well-being. These experiences solidified my passion for policy research and shaped my academic focus on the social determinants of health.”
