Natalie Zeri

Fall 2026

I'm the founder of Zeri Health, Inc., and I'm excited to join the MS-ACI program. I'm using this degree to pivot my career, but hope to stay focused in maternal-child health. My background includes a B.S. in Health Science as well as trainings and certifications as a massage therapist, birth/postpartum doula, lactation counselor with advanced training in clinical breastfeeding management and prenatal, labor and postpartum manual therapy. I've also volunteered at Providence Saint Johns Health Center in Santa Monica, CA and as a pro-bono doula with The Joy In Birthing Foundation. Through those experiences, I saw how fragmented health systems and information gaps directly affect families especially in human lactation. I want to help build better workflows and policies that actually serve providers and patients on the ground. I'm especially interested in how informatics can support community-based providers who are essential to positive outcomes but often left out of traditional health IT systems.
