About Founder (Omari Richins, MPH) In 2017, I didn’t even know public health was a career. By 2019, I had my MPH, a prestigious fellowship, and was earning $60k. This platform started as a simple blog and grew into a social media following and the Public Health Careers podcast soon after. In 2020, I landed a job paying $90k with just 2 years of experience—despite the role requiring 5. Fast forward to 2024: I’ve helped countless people navigate the public health field, now earn over $100k at my 9-5, and built a platform with 18k+ audience members, 200+ podcast episodes, 100+ blog posts, and which has earned me $10k+ in 2024 with 0 marketing. I also grew my LinkedIn following from 3,000 to over 10,000 in 2024! I want to help you better navigate your public health career success.
