Salom\u00e9-Joelle Gass<\/strong> grew up in Zambia which has shaped her career and research towards global health, specifically in the Sub-Saharan African (SSA) context. Her previous research experience focused on maternal and child health (MCH), specifically focusing on HIX diagnosis in infants and working with community health workers and a digital health system to improve vaccination coverage and timeliness in resource-limited settings. Her current research is focused on determining the feasibility, acceptability, and context-specific implementation of group prenatal care in rural SSA settings to assess its potential for broadly improving MCH outcomes. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her golden retriever Bernie and traveling.<\/p>\n

Megan Austin<\/strong> currently works as the Qualitative Study Coordinator for a nationwide study focused on the intersection of food insecurity and diabetes management. Megan is originally from Rock Hill, South Carolina and is passionate about giving back to the state she was raised by improving child, adolescent, and maternal health in South Carolina. Her career focus ties together maternal and child and sexual and reproductive health in the American South through a reproductive justice lens. Megan will utilize the Maternal and Child Health Doctoral Scholars grant to examine the influence of sex education on sexual behaviors from adolescence to young adulthood in South Carolina. In her free time, Megan enjoys traveling, reading, and being a tourist in her own city!<\/p>\n

Taylor Berrier<\/strong> (she\/her) is a doctoral student in the field of Communication Sciences and Disorders (COMD) at the University of South Carolina. She is from Sanford, North Carolina and moved to Columbia in the fall of 2021 to work with Dr. Suzanne Adlof in the South Carolina Research on Language and Literacy Lab.\u00a0Her academic journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in English, complemented by minors in Speech and Hearing Science and Creative Writing, all earned at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Taylor then continued her academic pursuit as a proud double Tar Heel, obtaining her Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from UNC as well.\u00a0Before embarking on her Ph.D. path, Taylor practiced as a pediatric speech-language pathologist and gained valuable experience in working with children with communicative difficulties, specializing in the treatment of reading and writing disorders.\u00a0Her current research pursuits revolve around the emotional impact of developmental language disorders and dyslexia and the relationship of emotional problems to academic outcomes (and vice versa) in these populations;\u00a0it is expected that she will receive her degree in May 2025.<\/span>\u00a0In her leisure time, you’ll often find Taylor making travel plans and going for walks around Columbia with her husband James.<\/span><\/p>\n
