Elizabeth Fallon, MPH, Ph.D., CHES®

I am currently seeking opportunities to leverage my knowledge, experience, and leadership abilities to positively impact chronic disease prevention and treatment through workforce development, research and practice. I have over 15 years of experience in academia and public health practice aiming to improve physical activity and healthy diet, and reduce excess weight for chronic disease prevention and treatment. Whether educating young professionals, or part of an interdisciplinary scientific team, I set ambitious goals and accomplish them by confronting challenges in a timely manner through teamwork and informed decision-making. As a leader, I am principled and candid. I encourage project-centric focus, diligent work ethic, and welcome diverse perspectives to generate innovative solutions to complex and challenging problems. I communicate with clarity and confidence and motivate others to overcome setbacks. I encourage a culture of teamwork, inclusivity, and innovation as well as continued professional development. In higher education, I have a proven record of delivering innovative and enriching learning experiences that translate into career-relevant knowledge and skills. I’ve successfully led teams of co-investigators, graduate, and undergraduate students in obtaining grant funding for laboratory-based and community-based participatory research. Additionally, I’ve provided administrative leadership for novel interdisciplinary undergraduate curricula and programs. As a senior scientist in non-governmental organizations, I leverage my interdisciplinary training to identify impactful research and practice opportunities consistent with organizational mission and goals. My reputation for collaboration and informed decision-making quickly builds trusting partnerships, both internally and externally. And, my ability to direct the planning, funding, implementation, and dissemination of project outcomes in a timely and high-quality manner ensures long-standing business relationships.
