Bio

H. Nancy Rumaldo is an expert in nutrition and maternal and child health, with extensive experience in designing and implementing community-based interventions for vulnerable populations. As a Project Manager at Partners In Health Perú, she has successfully led projects funded by Grand Challenges Canada, applying the community support model to address disparities in early childhood development, caregiver-child interaction, and maternal mental health in urban and rural areas of Peru. She has worked closely with researchers from Harvard Medical School and Boston University, contributing to the publication of studies on these topics. Her work has evolved to researching the impact of climate change, particularly water insecurity, on maternal and child health in high-risk communities. Since 2022, she has been a Senior Fellow at Atlantic Fellows for Health Equity at George Washington University, reinforcing her commitment to health equity. She holds a master’s degree in Project and Social Program Management from Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia.
