Outreach Editors

Daniela Fleming

Daniela is currently in the second year of McGill’s Master of Science in Public Health program. Over the summer, as part of her requirements for the program, she completed an internship with the Office of International Affairs in the Public Health Agency of Canada. In this placement she explored her interest in global health by working on international health policy with Latin American and Caribbean countries. She is very excited that this year she is a part of the Journal as an Outreach Editor where she hopes to continue exploring the many layers of global health, specifically in Latin America and other regions of the Global South, and contribute to this ever-growing field.

Maryam is a U3 Cognitive Science (Neuroscience) and International Development student, and an Outreach Editor for MJGH this academic year. She has always had a passion for global health, especially when it comes to raising awareness and educating others on global health issues that we face today. One fun fact about her is that she was able to join a youth round table hosted by Health Canada where they discussed solutions to better prepare us as a nation for future pandemics. She also loves watching movies, spending time with her friends and learning new languages.
