George, Michaela, PhD, MPH

Dr. Michaela George grew up in Marin and remains connected to her community. After several trips to the east coast for her education (Middlebury College in Vermont and Boston University in Massachusetts), she settled in the Bay Area to pursue her passion for epidemiology and public health. After earning her PhD from the University of California, Berkeley, Michaela started working at Dominican in 2015. Michaela incorporates students into her research, both in the classroom and the community. She works with community partners, including the Center for Domestic Peace, Ritter Center, the Rite of Passage Research Collaboration, and Play Marin, using her expertise to evaluate existing programs, design research studies to answer grant-funded questions, and develop sustainable strategies to enact change.
