Lindsey Mette
Lindsey is a former Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND) fellow and graduated from UAMS in 2010. There, she co-chaired a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting health literacy in international Latino communities. This volunteer work spurred her interest in public health, which ultimately led her to a second master’s degree. She received her MScPH from Charité Universitätsmedizin in Berlin, Germany, during which time she interned at the Genetic Diagnostic Commission of the Robert Koch Institute. Returning to the United States she completed the Christine Mirzayan Science & Technology Policy Fellowship at the National Academy of Sciences.
