Laura Pogio

Lead Coordinator - billing & insurance

Laura Pogio is a junior at the California State University, East bay at Hayward where she is pursuing Public Health with a concentration in Health Policy.

Her interest in health sciences stem from her own (and minorities alike) experiences with health disparity and injustice growing up as a first generation Filipina-born and raised in San Francisco. Inspired by her deep connection and appreciation to the community she grew up in, the Mission District, she aims to become an advocate for public health safety particularly the under-resourced populations by developing community and/or government initiatives. In addition, her strong advocacy for women’s health drew her to be a part of Blue Ova.

When she is not busy keeping up with current public health affairs, she enjoys drinking coffee and collecting postcards from new places.
