He is a research assistant at the Harvard Center for Health and the Global Environment, acting global coordinator of Health Care Without Harm’s Healthy Energy Initiative, and 2016 New Voices Fellow at the Aspen Institute.

After studying at Harvard, Renzo hopes to lead in developing innovative solutions to pressing global and planetary health challenges.
Junaid Nabi
Junaid Nabi, MD, is a physician, non-profit executive, dilettante, and an avid biker. He is enrolled in the MPH-45 program in the Department of Global Health, concentrating in the interdisciplinary Public Health Leadership. Born and raised in the beautiful valley of Kashmir, his work combines the disciplines of health systems, global surgery, value-based healthcare and social entrepreneurship. His interests, in addition to hiking and reading, include narrative medicine and medical journalism.
At Harvard, he plans to learn how global health systems operate, and how quality surgical care can be made accessible to the most vulnerable. As the 2016–2017 Writing Fellow and Discussions Moderator for the Voices in Leadership team, he plans to weave instructive stories that reveal the person — their motivations, their fears — behind leadership decisions taken at the highest levels of healthcare delivery.
Aude Richard
Aude Richard, MD, is a Swiss physician. Her experience of patient-centered communication during her residency in internal medicine and oncology in her home country was the decisive factor for her decision to study at Harvard for an MPH in social and behavioral sciences with a concentration in health communication, for which she received a Fulbright fellowship and a scholarship from the Swiss Association of Women in Academics. Dr Richard is also passionate about communication for health promotion and working to reduce disparities in the social determinants of health. She is excited to have the opportunity to write as a student blogger for voices in leadership, as she believes stories are one of the most powerful ways to make a significant impact in people’s minds.
