In five years at the University of Michigan, Noam has benefited from a wealth of resources and passionate peers to launch and direct two thriving health organizations called the Ypsilanti Health Initiative http://www.theyhi.wordpress.com and Get Fresh Detroit LLC http://www.getfreshdetroit.com. Although the organizations utilize different programming, channels, and organizational structures, both align incentives to make fresh and healthy foods more affordable and more accessible in lower-income areas. Now pursuing a dual-degree in Health Policy (MPH) and Urban Planning (MUP), Noam hopes to continue bridging disciplines of public health, public policy, urban planning, smart design, and entrepreneurship to advance the healthy, vibrant, and equitable communities of the future.
