Nikki Spencer
Public Health Social Worker
Greater Boston Area
In my most recent position, I managed efforts to expand community engaged research at the Boston University Medical Campus. I worked to promote full involvement of patients and community stakeholders throughout the research process as partners and decision makers. This entailed helping researchers and our academic institutions develop the skills they need to be better partners themselves - including fostering cultural humility, clear communication, and equitable policies. My prior experience includes health communication research, school readiness programming in community health centers, and development and communications at a domestic violence services agency. I am currently seeking my next position and would love to talk to other folks working in health equity and/or community engagement!
