About

Chloe Somberg is a MPH student studying Maternal and Child Health Epidemiology. Chloe has worked at the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) for the past six years in a couple different roles. Currently, she is the Research/Database Analyst in Pediatrician Survey Research. She has also provided data collection and quality assurance for the Children and COVID-19: State Level Data Report during the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. Her previous experience includes a health psychology research assistantship in the Trauma and Critical Care center at a hospital as well as being a behavioral and daily-living skills therapist for children with autism. Chloe's interests within maternal and child health include epidemiology, children with special health care needs, and racial disparities.

Chloe would like to become a skilled epidemiologist and address specific inequalities that affect women, children, and families and utilize data to inform programs, policies, or research. She hopes to apply her experience at AAP to her schoolwork and gain additional knowledge to assist in her research work.

Fun Fact- She is duo-citizen of France and loves to travel!
