87 Coaching Client Spotlight: Mya Roberson MSPH, Ph.D.

Dr. Mya Roberson is a social epidemiologist, health services researcher, and assistant professor. She is also an Associate Editor of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at JAMA Dermatology and a Board Member Trustee at Brown University.

In 2021, she completed her Ph.D. in Epidemiology at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health where she was a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Research Scholar and a Truman Scholar (PA 2015). Her research interests are in applying epidemiologic methods to health services research to promote health equity using big data. She is especially interested in equity in cancer care delivery for Black people in the US South. She is also an alumna of our Get That Grant coaching program!

Listen in as we discuss her coaching journey and:

• How coaching has given her strategy, execution, and discernment to be able to achieve her BIG goals in a more feasible way that worked out both personally and professionally
• How her experience with overwhelm shifted once opportunities were in alignment with her purpose
• Her newfound courage to pursue the career she desires even if it means creating something that she hasn't seen before
• Becoming BOLD in her asks by owning her value
• Her message to the Ph.D. non-clinical folks out there wondering if they would benefit from joining our Get That Grant coaching program (Spoiler Alert: Girl, yes! In this program, Public Health is not an afterthought)
