Haita Ndimbalan 22PH

Haita Ndimbalan is a passionate public health professional, advocate for health equity, and a proud Emory alumna. Ndimbalan began working for the Rhode Island Department of Health in 2022. As a Rhode Island native, it was important to her to give back to her community and take part in the work that creates better health outcomes for all Rhode Islanders. She currently specializes in maternal and child health as a program coordinator overseeing federal grant initiatives in her state. She is passionate about her work as it allows her to help address health disparities for Rhode Island’s most vulnerable populations.

During her time with the board, Ndimbalan hopes to be involved in further integrating students who attended Rollins during the pandemic into the greater Rollins community; raising awareness on the professional resources and networking available to alumni; promoting engagement of alumni across class years and geographical locations; and engaging alumni in efforts to promote better health for communities where they live.
