Melinda has worked with Johns Hopkins Health Education and Training Corps, Nationalities Service Center, Philadelphia Medical Reserve Corps, Prevention Point Philadelphia, and Foundation for International Medical Relief of Children. Her experience has focused on response to the COVID-19 pandemic, immigrant and refugee health access, resource-limited healthcare settings globally and domestically, and harm reduction.
