Envision CHW council

Born and raised in Oakland, CA, Tia attended UC Berkeley where she earned a BA in Sociology after which she moved to Boston and earned her Master of Public Health, Maternal and Child Health from Boston University.   It didn’t take long for her to realize that the east coast winters didn’t agree with her so she returned to the Bay Area and began her active career in public health. 

What began with an interest in sexual health over a decade ago has led Tia on her current path of focusing on health equity.

Her innate curiosity , thirst for knowledge, and passion for education makes her comfortable teaching both in the classroom and public health spaces.  For more than a decade she has worked extensively with families and is currently training CHWs while also helping those with rich lived experience transition into more structured health department positions.

 Tia lives near her native Oakland with her husband, 3 1/2 yr old daughter,  and is expecting her second child.
