About the Author

Mae Noonan is a senior at Boston Latin School with a deep interest for the intersection of public policy and maternal healthcare. This interest led her to pursue a project focused on understanding how systemic policies impact maternal and reproductive health outcomes across diverse communities. She will be attending Northeastern University in the fall, where she plans to major in Public Health and Health Humanities. Through her studies, she hopes to explore innovative, human-centered approaches to healthcare reform, more particularly as they relate to equity in maternal care. Mae is committed to making a lasting impact in the lives of women and families by advocating for smarter, more compassionate health policy.
