Pawel is a first-year MPH student at the Yale School of Public Health focusing on social and behavioral sciences with a concentration on climate change and health. He is also a Policy Fellow at the Yale Center on Climate Change and Health, a member of the Yale Public Health First-Generation/Low-Income Student Group, and a member of the steering committee for the 2023 Yale Philanthropy Conference.
Pawel was the first in his family to attend college and received his BA in sociology from Columbia in 2018. Most recently, Pawel was on the corporate engagement and philanthropic team at Goldman Sachs. Outside of Yale, Pawel serves as an elected councilmember on his hometown’s city council in Garfield, New Jersey.
Beyond that, Pawel loves cycling (slowly), visiting museums (and pretending to know about the art), and reading books (but actually more like buying books and not reading them).
