Madeline “Maddy” Noh '22 is concentrating in Public Health and Anthropology in Brown’s Engaged Scholarship Program. She is extremely passionate about sexual/reproductive health, community-engaged models, and centering underserved groups in healthcare, particularly in relation to the criminal justice system. Her passion for health equity was initially sparked after years volunteering in clinic sites and hospitals as a medical interpreter and patient health advocate. Interacting with many patients impacted by the criminal justice system led her to develop a deep concern toward the carceral state’s power in stripping individuals of agency and wellbeing. At the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, she conducted research to develop a toolkit of Native American-centered reentry resources after incarceration. Other experiences include legal research at Rhode Island Center for Justice for a criminal defense case, and an internship at Human Rights Watch where she researched global prison public health conditions during the pandemic. Madeline grew up in several different places, developing language skills in Spanish, French, and Korean. Outside of work, she practices cooking and bagel making, and loves musical theater, yoga, and literature.
