Linh Chuong

Linh Chuong is the Policy Co-Chair, the Board Secretary, and a Southern California Chapter Lead at PIVOT. She is a Ph.D. candidate in Health Policy and Management with a focus on Public Policy at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health. Before she was a researcher, she was an advocate for Southeast Asian health equity. Before she was an advocate, she was and remains the proud daughter of refugee immigrants. Through her work, she developed a recognition that data and research have never been about data, but about (in)visibility and representation— about who gets to define the issue, set the agenda, and determine the solution. She strives to conduct thoughtful research and use simple communication to bridge policy, practice, and people.

Linh received her MPH in Health Policy and Management from UC Berkeley and her BA degrees in (1) Sociology/Anthropology with a Sociology Emphasis and (2) Gender and Social Justice from Hendrix College.
