Meet Our Team!!


Hello! I’m Rianna Murray and I’m a PhD student in Toxicology and Environmental Health the School of Public Health. I’m the staff advisor for our experience in Chicago, and I’m looking forward to working with a really great group of talented UMD students! My research interests are global health, environmental justice and health disparities, particularly when these disparities revolve around environmental health issues. I am excited about our experience because I am passionate about social justice, and I would like to learn about the parallels in homelessness between Chicago and our Washington DC-Baltimore region.  An immersive experience such as this one will give me an opportunity to translate the principles I have learned in my public health classes into real-life situations, and to be better equipped to make a difference in my own local communities.
