Edwina Mariel (MPH ‘26) joined us this spring as a Edwina Mariel (MPH ‘26) joined us this spring as a @ucberkeleypublichealth graduate student researcher on the California Heat Study, conducting interviews with key informants and focus groups with workers in warehouse, construction, agriculture and the fast food industries. Mariel comes from Veraguas, Panama and traces her interest in public health to her upbringing. 

“My family practices subsistence farming in Panama,” she said. “We practice our own Indigenous traditions. I’m curious about the connection between the science of public health and cultural knowledge and understanding. I see myself as a connector between all of these different fields.”

At LOHP, Mariel said she was excited to work on the heat project because she knew the data would have immediate impact given that it was being collected for state-level policymakers. “It’s way more impactful because it’s applied research,” she said. And, she said, because she has seen first hand, the impact of climate change on communities, especially coming from a subsistence farming family. 

“We see the impact of a changing climate. It impacts how we feed ourselves and how we sustain ourselves. It also creates a layer of stress that impacts our daily lives. We worry about the future of that land,” she said. 

Mariel will continue her work on the heat study this summer and is exploring doctoral programs.
