Hema Naik, MPH, DLO, MBBS, Research Project Coordinator

I am a Research Project Coordinator at Northwestern University. I completed my Masters in Public Health from Benedictine University. My passion to work for Public health was driven from my past experience of working in medicine. It gives me immense satisfaction to work for the South Asian community as they are very often underrepresented in the field of research. In my free time, I like to read, listen to music and spend time with my family.

Subia Javed, Family Liaison/Community Health Specialist

I work as a family liaison at Skokie School district 69. I help families not only in interpretation and translation (Urdu, Hindi and Gujrati) but also work as a bridge between parents, school and community. I support families in an area needed and also engage them in our community.

 

Additionally, I work as a community health specialist at Northwestern University in South Asian research studies. The main part of my work is to recruit and provide health education which I really enjoy.

 

In my free time, I like to enjoy the outdoors, hang out with friends and travel.
