Cherie Miner graduated magna cum laude from Hanover College with a BA in psychology and a minor in French. During her tenure at Hanover, she received several research scholarships and awards, including the Globalink Mitacs Research Internship for studying leisure and somatic therapeutic modes in Moncton, NB, Canada (conducted remotely due to COVID-19), and the Richter Grant for research on self-actualization and adult attachment using Amazon MTurk participants. After graduation, she worked as a data analyst at OSU-CHS where she co-developed and published the Oklahoma Adversity Surveillance Index System. This system integrates data across healthcare disciplines to address childhood trauma at the community level effectively. She is currently a statistical programmer at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, analyzing the impacts of social determinants on public health through an interdisciplinary approach. Through the MPH program at the University of Haifa, Cherie aims to blend her background in data analysis and psychology with Israel’s advanced healthcare analytics and interdisciplinary practices. She hopes to influence global health policies by developing trauma-informed, community-centered, and culturally sensitive public health interventions. Ultimately, Cherie seeks to bridge cultural, technological, and disciplinary gaps to drive innovation in psychology and medicine, contributing to healthcare systems worldwide.
