Overview
Reese Cuddy, MPH, manages a variety of behavioral and environmental health research initiatives in collaboration with tribal communities across the United States. She has extensive experience in program management, database development, data management, and quality control. Her recent research efforts focus on water access and water security, maternal and child health, and food security. Reese developed and implemented several initiatives to improve drinking water access for Navajo Nation community members in response to the magnified water access inequities experienced by tribal members because of the COVID-19 pandemic. She is dedicated to contributing to health equity and working to elevate community health to the highest possible level.
