Redwood City Together is excited to welcome the latest member of our team, Ella Gray, as this year's Shinnyo-en Community Impact Fellow. Ella (she/her) is a recent graduate from Stanford University where she obtained a BA in Human Biology with a concentration in disease, gender, and public health. She strongly believes that community partnerships are one of the most effective and ethical ways to improve the health and wellness of underserved populations. She has previously volunteered with Project Systole, a student organization that partners with LifeMoves community centers across the Bay Area, to provide first aid training workshops for their constituents, as well as with United Students for Veterans’ Health. She is especially passionate about child health and has worked as a researcher with Stanford’s Graduate School of Education to investigate psychological resilience among youth populations suffering adversity.
In her work with the Welcoming Redwood City working group and Stanford's John W. Gardner Center for Youth and their Communities, Ella will continue learning about community wellness and advocacy and how to improve the health of those who need it the most. She is excited for the opportunity to work alongside passionate individuals who strive to value, empower, and collaborate with the Redwood City and North Fair Oaks community.
