Hannah Sheehy

Hannah graduated from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor with a degree in Community Health Education. She discovered her passion for adolescent health while working at a summer camp, where she found herself gleefully fielding questions about puberty and other various bodily functions. She has been hooked on adolescent health ever since. Hannah has spent time as an intern at Planned Parenthood, working closely with the peer education program there, and at Doulas Care, a community-based volunteer doula program that focuses on serving low-income childbearing women in southeast Michigan.  During her last two years as an undergraduate, she led a sexual health forum that discussed safer sex practices as well as more nuanced issues like gender, consent and body image. She is mainly interested in program development, evaluation and implementation of adolescent sexual and reproductive health education initiatives. More specifically, she is keen to study and evaluate approaches other than the abstinence-based model currently dominating the American classroom. When not fighting for adolescents' right to understand and protect their bodies, Hannah likes to cook, bake, and run (sort of). She is pictured here with her weapon of choice in hand. She will be starting her first year of the 2-year MPH program.
