About Adithi Kumar

As a determined, outgoing, meticulous and multilingual Master of Public Health candidate with an upbringing across three contrasting countries–Australia, India, and U.S.A–and hands-on international field experience in healthcare, education and communication, my passions and expertise span global public health, humanitarian action, maternal & child health, digital storytelling & research uptake, interdisciplinary innovation, and youth advocacy.As a UN 2.0 Youth dedicated to catalyzing the SDGs and humanizing population-level health challenges (https://un-two-zero.network/contents/adithi-kumar/), I thrive on innovative problem-solving, context-tailored engagement, complex systems thinking, and adaptability.At WYSTC Lisbon 2023, I was one of four global panellists on JENZA’s Youth Advisory Panel representing generation Z’s voice in the industry. Additionally, I presented original toolkits to enhance 2-generation interventions at a multi-partner consortium in Uganda. As demonstrated through these opportunities, my nuanced interpersonal skills fostered collaboration with stakeholders ranging from multinational CEOs/governments to refugee children in Sub-Saharan Africa.Backed by a strong academic record as:– A 2nd year MPH candidate in the Heilbrunn Department of Population & Family Health specializing in Public Health & Humanitarian Action at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health– A Dual Bachelor's Degree in Economics and Human Health from Emory UniversityI possess a wide portfolio of skills including program planning, forum development, public speaking, quantitative & qualitative data analysis, filmmaking, and implementation science demonstrated through rigorous coursework, projects, and leadership positions. I deferred my matriculation at Columbia University to gain practical experience in various industries outside of global health while solo backpacking across Australia in my gap year. Constantly living on-the-move outside of my comfort zone strengthened my adaptability, resilience, inter-personal engagement, and high pressure problem-solving skills — qualities that set me up for navigating complex global health environments when working in Ugandan refugee settlements in my MPH practicum with The AfriChild Centre this past summer.Attention to detail, quick learning abilities, and a knack for communicating complex information in actionable ways position me as someone who thrives on innovative challenges.Contact email: adithikumar2000@gmail.com or ak5097@cumc.columbia.edu
