Emily Lincoln

Emily Lincoln is a second-year graduate student pursuing her Masters in Public Health (MPH) in Environmental and Occupational Health (EOH) from Drexel University’s Dornsife School of Public Health. She aspires to increase the passing of evidence-based policies while improving systems for efficiency and equity while addressing universal issues like Climate Change. Following graduation, she aims to work as an Environmental Policy Analyst for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Over the summer of 2023, Emily traveled to Eswatini in regional Southern Africa as a Dornsife Global Development Scholar (DGDS). While there, she worked alongside World Vision International to understand the process of developing access to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) infrastructure and practices. Through this she grew her interest in global health through work that addressed health disparities for the most vulnerable and at risk communities. Starting in June, Emily will begin her Portuguese language study domestically before traveling to Brazil in the fall and spring through the National Security Education Program (NSEP) Boren Fellowship. She’s excited to learn more about Brazilian culture, to increase her ability to communicate and connect with others through another language, and to learn from perspectives outside of the U.S. that will help address leading world issues. 

At Drexel, Emily is a Dornsife Public Health Research Fellow working to address health effects of extreme heat, an active member of the EOH Journal Club, and a regular participant in case competitions.
