Nam-Huy Leduc, MPH, SUN

Nam-Huy started his journey in healthcare services working as an EMT in California and Washington states. After a couple of years working directly with patients in the emergency services setting, Nam-Huy explored more teaching opportunities and complemented patient care with becoming a CPR instructor in the Seattle King County area. During his time, he worked and pursued a graduate degree in Public Health with a specialty in One Health, an interdisciplinary approach that recognizes the inextricable connection between human, animal, and environmental health. He also grew his knowledge of safer agricultural practices at the University of Washington’s urban farm by helping obtain its first USDA organic certification label. Now, his passion has expanded toward finding creative ways to navigate an underserved community using harm reduction techniques and tools. 

When he isn’t composting food scraps with his traveling worm bin, Nam-Huy enjoys biking, board games, and exploring the beautiful city of Philadelphia’s Free Library resources.
