David Menino
David is a recent Bachelor of Science in Psychology graduate from Brown University with experience in sexual health and substance abuse education, HIV testing and risk reduction counseling, community outreach, and research. He is passionate about improving the health outcomes of disadvantaged populations by increasing access to, and quality of, information, services, support, and care. Given his experiences working closely with individuals whose lives have been affected by poverty, homelessness, addiction, and communicable diseases, he has developed a keen interest in understanding social factors related to the distribution/prevalence of these diseases (e.g. addiction, HIV/STIs, and Hepatitis C) and how to best provide and/or design services that effectively improve the health and treatment outcomes of these individuals. In his free time, David enjoys endurance running, practicing Tae Kwon Do, and cooking. Overall, David intends on culminating these experiences by pursuing a career in either medicine or research, or a combination thereof.
