Blaire Hamilton is pursuing a dual masters at Emory University in the fields of religion and public health

After graduating Summa Cum Laude in spring 2014, Blaire Hamilton is pursuing a dual masters at Emory University in the fields of religion and public health. Her work focuses on the intersection between the fields of religion and health, especially as this relates to reproductive issues.  She is currently working part-time as a chaplain to incarcerated expectant mothers at the Helms Correctional Center, as well serving on a campus-wide Title IX committee.  Blaire is preparing for a career in global reproductive policy, in which she hopes to help health groups formulate more effective strategies for reconciling the religious and medical needs of developing communities.
