Erin Ingle

Erin Ingle holds an MPH in Global Health from the University of Washington and a BA in International Studies from the University of Denver. As an undergraduate, Erin studied abroad in Amman, Jordan where she completed research on refugees, health, and humanitarian aid. After graduating, Erin served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Tanzania where she worked on community based health and income generating projects with her community. She has additional experience working for grassroots nonprofits and the federal government. Her research interests include reproductive health, vaccine delivery, and humanitarian response.

Erin worked on nine projects during her two-year engagement at START, acting as the Project Manager for three and was also the START Center’s Flex RA for a quarter. Erin was also a Student Representative for the START RAs. Below are highlights from two of the projects Erin worked on:

• Women’s Leadership in Global Health: The START team conducted a grey literature review to research the existing labor market dynamics and pull key themes and actionable changes that can create environments for women to rise and thrive in positions of leadership in global health.
• Mapping Stakeholders and Best Practices in the Movement for Women’s Leadership: As a part two to the previous women’s leadership project of 2022, the START team was tasked with conducting a literature review and key informant interviews to identify best practices in the movement for women’s leadership including a deep dive on gender quotas. We additionally identified key stakeholders and players in this movement and created a framework to map them by influence and relevance to the BMGF strategy.

Reflecting on her time at START, Erin said, “My experience at START was a highlight of my UW experience. I have made lasting friendships, cultivated new professional skills and developed interests in topics outside of my areas of expertise. I am so grateful for the opportunities I have had through START!”

Erin currently works as a Global Health Consultant at Camber Collective.
