Kiersten Valko, MPH

As the marketing and communications manager with the Academy, I manage the promotion of all Academy public awareness initiatives, events, member engagement, and more. Starting in May 2019, I have had the pleasure to work with a great team of communications professionals, as well as with the membership department, providing resources and quality customer service to our membership.

With most of my professional work experience since graduating with my undergraduate degree being in non-profit work, I can truly showcase my passion for this kind of mission while also exercising my storytelling and editorial skills, as well as project management.

Working for the Academy allows me to be close to something I am very passionate about, quality health care and equitable access for everyone.
