My name is Malini J. Runnells. I work as a Digital Strategist and problem solver for federal, state, international, and nonprofit agencies.
My goal every day is to a make a difference in the lives of others. As a child, I saw myself as a doctor helping heal patients from their various ailments. While my life has taken a different direction, I take that same desire of helping others and utilize my incessant desire to learn and innovate to reach various populations through digital technology with critical health messages.
While I’ve spent my career focused on tobacco control and prevention, and drug use prevention, I have additional areas of interest in Public Health, including HIV/AIDS, global health, and WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene).
