My name is Rachel Moresea. I am a full-time working mother of three boys, ages 7, 4, and 2. I have 10+ years of experience in the field of Public Health. I earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of Saint Francis in Fort Wayne, Indiana. After graduation, I served a year in AmeriCorps with the Christian Appalachian Project before getting a job at Columbus Public Health. At CPH I worked as an Environmental Health specialist for seven years before deciding to make a switch to Emergency Preparedness. In 2021, once things with the pandemic started to slow down, I decided to return to Environmental Health and took a job as director of environmental health for the Fairfield County Health Department. Being a director of environmental health comes with lots of challenges and rewards. I am always learning something new. I am an MPH candidate with American Public University and plan to graduate in August of this year. I look forward to serving the Ohio Environmental Health Association as district director of the southeast region.
