In 2007, Ms. Wolfe completed a public health internship in Northern India, studying the country’s public and private sector response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Through this global health internship, Ms. Wolfe strengthened her strategic thinking and analytical skills, gained insights into multi-culturalism and diversity, and witnessed the impacts of globalization, human trafficking and poverty on health.

She brought these insights back to Los Angeles where she partnered with an experienced pediatrician to develop and run a highly-visible, evidence-based pediatric asthma disease management program, recognized as a model program by the California Department of Public Health in 2016.

Ms. Wolfe has expertise in program design and implementation, project management, strategic planning, curriculum development, environmental health, and low-literacy health education materials development. She is also passionate about healthy eating and physical activity. 

Ms. Wolfe was born and spent the first twelve years of her life in the former Soviet Republic of Armenia. She immigrated to the U.S. a few years before the fall of the Soviet Union. 

Ms. Wolfe loves spending time with her husband and two young children, drinking coffee, eating good food, practices yoga, Pilates and meditation and loves to travel and laugh.
