Marcel Foster Email & Phone Number

Marcel's work focuses on integrating creative solutions with rigorous systems management for social justice initiatives.Fusing a background in the performing arts with quantitative data analysis, Marcel worked in Tanzania (with support from the Sullivan Scholarship) on two separate initiatives: dance/theater messaging around HIV, as well as research on chimpanzee behavior with the Jane Goodall Institute Research Center. These ventures provided insights for effective communications within public health programming, best-practice in data collection and statistical research, and transnational advocacy networks that inform local health systems. Following this international experience, Marcel worked as an Operations Manager for CultureWorks Greater Philadelphia, Dance/USA Philadelphia, and consulted numerous non-profits on building robust programs for community engagement initiatives. With funding, Marcel attended Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health and graduated as the Commencement Speaker in 2017 with a Masters of Public Health and deepened expertise in community engagement and data analytics for global health programs.
