Amy Hepler, MA

Amy joined the Epidemiology and Prevention Research Group in May of 2008 as the coordinator for the newly formed Center for Community Based Research (CCBR).  The CCBR, which is funded through the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA), strives to give better access to populations who have traditionally been underrepresented in clinical research studies; including women, minorities, and those of lower socioeconomic status.  This is done by conducting outreach in the community on a daily basis, increasing awareness among community groups and agencies, and by making research coordinators award of more participants for their projects.

Prior to working at Washington University, Amy worked at Metro Homeless Center, where she acted as the communications coordinator, office manager, and executive assistant.  She also coordinated resident and staff events, assisted with volunteer activities and fundraising events, and served on several committees.  Amy was also employed at Planned Parenthood for two years as an educator, counselor, and medical assistant before she began work on her Master's degree.  Amy graduated from Michigan State University in 2002 with a BA in psychology, and in 2006 with an MA in Communication with an emphasis on Health Communication.
