Speaker Bio

Talata (she/her) is a behavioural scientist committed to understanding why people do what they do and think what they think, and leveraging those insights to advance health equity from any and all angles. Her work has centered marginalized communities in Latin America, Africa, and the United States, and is informed by the belief that underlining our interdependence is the key to advancing collective well-being.

She holds a BSc in Food Chemistry from McGill University, a Masters in International Public Health from the University of Sydney, and a PhD in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University.

Talata (elle, accords féminins) est une spécialiste en sciences comportementales, dédiée à comprendre pourquoi les gens pensent ce qu'ils pensent et font ce qu'ils font, et à utiliser ces connaissances pour promouvoir l'équité en santé sous tous ses aspects. Ses travaux portent sur les communautés marginalisées d'Amérique latine, d'Afrique et des États-Unis, et reposent sur la conviction que la reconnaissance de notre interdépendance est essentielle à l'amélioration du bien-être collectif.

Elle est titulaire d'un baccalauréat en chimie alimentaire de l'Université McGill, d'une maîtrise en santé publique internationale de l'Université de Sydney et d'un doctorat en santé publique de l'Université Johns Hopkins.
