“Meeting and interacting with new people every week is what I enjoy the most about what I do,” says Hannah Vaughn, who graduated from the College of Arts & Sciences at Ohio University in 2015 with a B.A. in Anthropology and Spanish, with a certificate in Geographic Information Science.
After college, Vaughn interned at the Cleveland Foundation where she acted as the project manager for The Fifth Migration project, a study of Cleveland’s millennial population.
The study was geared toward informing public officials and community leaders in making new policy decisions that will allow that population to continue to grow at a high rate.
She was then presented with the opportunity to combine two passions she developed while studying at Ohio University: health care access and human rights.
Through the Ohio Community HealthCorps AmeriCorps program, Vaughn was placed in the role of Refugee Services Advocate at Neighborhood Family Practice, a community health center that serves Cleveland’s west side, where she assists the Refugee Clinic Coordinator with the Refugee Health Screening Clinic and other case management and education for newly arrived refugee patients.
Hannah spoke at the Department of Sociology & Anthropology Awards Gala on April 8.
