PHEC 073: Interview with Tamiko Prescod, Journey into Public Health

In this episode, I introduce you to Tamiko Prescod, as she discusses her journey into public health, shares her experience, and offers encouragement.

Tamiko has a BS in biology, and recently completed her MPH.  Her background includes work in retail pharmacy, clinical laboratory support, and clerical support at a local government agency. 

She has passion, drive, and determination, which stood out to me when I first met her early in 2018.  She was one of the first people to enroll in my program, Developing Your Public Health Career Strategy. I’ve had the honor of coaching and guiding her through that program, and getting to know her very well in the process.  It has been amazing to watch her grow over this last year, watch her progress, witness her accomplishments, and I’m excited to see where she goes from here!
