Meet Marina Magalhães
As an American Public Health Association (APHA) Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Section Fellow, PhD student Marina Magalhães (BSN 2017) is one of only a handful nationwide selected for this program that supports engagement in maternal and child health policy, programs and research, as well as leadership development. Marina is passionate about reducing inequities in maternal and child health, and her dissertation research uses an mHealth approach to determine whether text messaging breast milk sodium levels (a biomarker of pumping frequency) to mothers of critically ill infants during the early postpartum period improves long-term lactation outcomes. Post-graduation, she hopes to expand her work on pressing issues in women's health, such as the increasing incidence of cesarean delivery and the maternal mortality epidemic.
