Bio

Hi, I'm Dr Angelo Ercia. I have a Ph.D. in International Public Health Policy from the University of Edinburgh and a Master in Public Health from the University of Arizona. I have worked in the U.K. and U.S.A. as a public health professional and as an applied researcher in health services and health policy. I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, California, and am passionate about strengthening healthcare systems and addressing health inequities. My hobbies include baking, cooking, dancing, and travelling. I particularly love to travel because it allows me to learn about different place's culture, tradition, and their food.
