Len Bowman

Len recently graduated from Furman University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Public Health with a concentration in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Over the course of their junior and senior year at Furman, Len had the opportunity to apply their knowledge of research methods while assisting Dr. Shaniece Criss in the Health Sciences department on her qualitative research study aiming to analyze caregiver perceptions of No Hit Zone campaigns in medical clinics. In studying Public Health at Furman, Len has developed a substantial passion for the achievement of health equity within marginalized groups, with an emphasis on queer and trans folks as well as birthing people of color. Len is a very compassionate individual, having learned and understood this trait to be at the center of any and all public health work. Len hopes to further strengthen their research and evaluation skills over the course of the Fellowship at OMNI with intentions of eventually obtaining their Master’s of Public Health. In their free time, they enjoy writing, journaling, watching TV, and reading their favorite author: bell hooks.
