Kelsey’s project empowers and profits people with disabilities in Nova Scotia, working to reduce the complexity of applying for disability benefits in Canada and to encourage financial literacy. Kelsey is working on her Master of Public Health in Social and Behavioral Sciences. As an undergraduate at Harvard College she turned her life-long love of Ancient Egypt into a passion for studying Arabic and the sociology of the Modern Middle East. After college, Kelsey worked as a senior field guide in a wilderness therapy program in North Carolina. Through this job she realized the urgent need for a stronger public health system in the US and decided to pursue this career path. Her passions lie in mental health, substance use prevention, and justice system reform.
