Edward Alexander

Edward Alexander is an MPH candidate at the Boston University School of Public Health focusing on community assessment, program design, implementation, and evaluation. His primary concerns are the way historic systems of racial and ethnic inequality manifest themselves in present health inequities. He is specifically driven to work within communities to improve their access to and utilization of health services, especially in chronic disease and reproductive services. Edward is a voracious consumer of words—in all their forms—and music, so he’s probably reading, listening to music, or doing both right now.
