She received a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, and has a BS in Biological Engineering from MIT, with a minor in Brain and Cognitive Science and a concentration in Public Health. She is interested in global public health and specifically the implementation of healthcare in informal settlements in the global south. She is also dedicated to reducing maternal deaths by improving access to healthcare for mothers in low-resource areas. In Boston, she works as an emergency medical technician (EMT) and conducts translational epilepsy research at Boston Children's Hospital. She hopes each of these interests will play a prominent role in her future, where she intends to increase global access to high-quality healthcare as a physician-scientist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607598d0f9f571709a8114aa/1618321427683-8D0WHZGN6R1AAI8CEW0Y/dani4.jpeg Our Team - Daniela Cocco Beltrame Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

Working within a context of informal urban neighbourhoods in Africa, she has been fundraising, technically supporting, and working to bring awareness to the incredible potential of women-led transnational community grassroots movements in implementing sustainable solutions for the future. With over 20 years of multi-disciplinary experience behind her, she has combined both her technical and creative background with international development. Currently, her work sees her strongly advocating for women as agents of change, both on the continent and in the diaspora, focusing on livelihoods and entrepreneurship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607598d0f9f571709a8114aa/1618372376462-ER4QMVMZOA14SRDIA3QW/ceasar3.png Our Team - Ceasar L.

At DUSP, Ceasar teaches on civic and community engagement and the use of social media to enhance both. Ceasar brings his deep commitment to the work of building beloved, just and equitable communities that are able to – as his friend Carl Moore says – ”struggle with traditions that bind and the interests that separate in order to build a future that is an equitable improvement on the past.” Ceasar is the founder of MIT's CoLab and Civic Designers consulting. He served as Director of the global civic engagement organization Dropping Knowledge International, President of Interaction Institute for Social Change, co-founder of The Civil Rights Forum on Telecommunications Policy, and founding Board member of The Algebra Project.
