At UNC, she served as a research assistant for both the Institute for Clinical Effectiveness and Health Policy in Argentina and UNC Gillings’ Health Behavior department. Through these experiences, she contributed to global initiatives advancing women’s health equity and strengthening health systems.

During her free time, Michaella can probably be found curled up with a good book and a strong cup of coffee!
