Zilber College alum Niki Lucht, MPH was recently named co-chair of the Wisconsin Public Health Association (WPHA) Policy & Advocacy Committee.
After receiving her MPH from the Zilber College of Public Health, Lucht was a UW Population Health Fellow and worked for multiple public health organizations across the state on various issues.
Currently residing in her hometown of New London, Lucht is an epidemiologist at the Wood County Health Department.
“One constant throughout my public health career has been my involvement with WPHA — whether completing my master’s capstone on a WPHA legislative priority, planning early career professional events, or attending the annual conference,” says Lucht. “I’m excited to continue the great work that has been happening over many years and to move in a bit of a new direction. We are working to be more proactive, streamline processes, and get all of you more engaged in policy and advocacy! “
