Carlene Pavlos has been the Executive Director of MPHA since April 2018 and is passionate about its health equity mission. Prior to joining MPHA, Carlene spent nearly 20 years at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, first as the leader of their sexual and domestic violence prevention efforts and ending her time as the Director of the Bureau of Community Health and Prevention. Carlene brings to her work a commitment to social justice and has extensive experience working with and learning from incarcerated women. If she could choose a superpower, she’d want to be able to fly – but she suspects she will have to make due with her ability to fit a huge amount of luggage into a very small car.
