Xenia is a recent graduate of the Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health MPH program at UC Berkeley. She is Salvadoran-American and was born and raised in San Francisco. Prior to her MPH program, she worked with the Women’s Community Clinic and Lyon Martin Health Services assisting patients with health coverage eligibility and enrollment. She helped patients get coverage for services such as primary care, mental health, sexual and reproductive health, and transgender health services. The challenges she has seen patients face, as well as the challenges her family has faced within health care systems is what motivates her to work in public health. Areas she would like to work on is increasing access to health coverage and safety net programs particularly for people with undocumented or under-documented statuses, and bridging gaps in digital health in perinatal care. In her free time, Xenia enjoys running, dancing, and travelling.
