Work Experience:

Hello! My name is Felicia. I am interested in working with individuals with disabilities and in other health-related services. As my my disability makes it difficult to commute. I am looking to work part-time from home. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Community Health from Hofstra University. My passion for advocacy started through my coursework at Hofstra and continued through my personal experiences. While completing my final year, I was able to develop my own research study on emergency preparedness (under the supervision of Martine Hacket, Associate Professor and Assistant Chair of Department of Health Professions School of Health Sciences and Human Services) where I presented my findings at Hofstra’s Research Day. Additionally, I was invited to be a part of Hofstra’s 2019’s Public Health Week with my event titled, Breaking the Boundaries: “Other” Concerns of Young People with Disabilities. Throughout this event, topics such as emergency preparedness, oral health, and sexual health were discussed by experienced panelists. I am eager to continue learning and advocating for individuals with disabilities.
