Amanda Copeland ’16

Amanda works for Hartford HealthCare, supporting and teaching the electronic health record (EHR) system to clinical staff and health care providers. “I was very involved in campus life at Eastern as a resident assistant, participated in a global field internship in Ghana, acted as a peer mentor for first-year students, served as co-president of the Pre-Health Society and volunteered my time through community service projects.”

Chris Brown ’17

Chris is a financial reporting and investment accounting specialist at AXA XL. As an Eastern student, he volunteered with the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program to income-tax preparation assistance to lower-income families and individuals with preparing their income taxes. “VITA helped me to realize how much I enjoy tax accounting, which is what I primarily focus on in my current position.”

Communication

Melissa Starkel ’20

“I work at a nonprofit educational organization as a communications manager in Washington, D.C. My education from Eastern has equipped me with the necessary skills and experience to thrive in the ever-evolving world of communications. Through my coursework, internships and extracurricular activities, I was able to refine my written and interpersonal communication skills, hone my problem-solving abilities, and strengthen my leadership capabilities.”

Health Sciences

Harley Webley ’21

A health science major with a concentration in allied health, Harley is attending Yale University’s School of Public Health. “We must examine how our systems foster inequity and dismantle policies and practices that create disparate health outcomes. I am pursuing a Master’s in Public Health to learn the appropriate tools and skillset to develop and apply approaches that center equity in health systems and policies.”
