Meet the Team

Roccio

Public Health Researcher & Writer

I am a doctor from Mexico who is currently completing my MPH at Andrews University. I am the one who takes a step back and researches health myths. I cannot stop investigating until I exhaust every possibility that supports a health myth. Finding evidence is fascinating, but the process ends once I write and edit the interview. My purpose is to inspire and motivate by providing a few minutes of knowledge that can prevent diseases and improve someone else’s lifestyle. 

Ana

Researcher & Scriptwriter

I provide oral health care to patients and am currently pursuing my MPH at Andrews University. I am your friendly neighborhood science sleuth! I’m the one digging through research papers so you don’t have to. I also write scripts and manage our Facebook. If you’re seeking a dose of knowledge without the burden of extensive research, you’ve come to the right place! My mission is to encapsulate the vast and captivating realm of science into captivating narratives that astonish you with their unexpected insights. Take a seat back and relish the experience; I’ll manage the intricacies of the research for you!. 

Jaumark

I’m a dual MDiv and MPH student with a pastime in Art Directing. It’s my pleasure to use my years of design experience to produce media that promotes public health. I turn technical data into captivating material and proofread scientific literature, and I’m pleased to work with others on projects that combine lifestyle medicine, film, audio, print, and the love of God.

Lynitta

I’m the right-left brain.  By day, I’m a serious MPH student. By night, I’m a comic-illustrating, production-managing, web-designing wizard. I bring the science to life with my artistic visions. When I’m not occupied with creating, I’m likely dreaming of sleep.
