Liz Métraux is a writer and medical anthropologist, with more than two decades of experience around the globe helping individuals and organizations share their stories. Beginning her career in political movements - most notably in the Middle East and former Soviet Union during the Iraq War and Arab Spring - she moved from the frontlines of war to the frontlines of healthcare after seeing the critical role of public health in civil society development.
Liz led communications at the National Institutes of Health's Office of Scientific Diversity, spearheaded comms for USAID's TB and infectious disease projects in the Central Asian Republics, and undertook a multiyear national research project on joy, trauma, and loneliness in the American healthcare workforce.
In 2024, she transitioned from head of engagement strategy at the UN Foundation's Better World Campaign to TB Alliance, where she supports efforts to treat the world's deadliest infectious disease.
