Reproductive Health Access Project (RHAP) staff is proud to welcome two new members to our team.

Gabrielle (GG) deFiebre, MPH joins us as our research associate. GG earned her bachelor’s degree from New College of Florida and her master’s degree in public health from the CUNY School of Public Health at Hunter College. GG interned with RHAP during her last year of graduate school, helping conduct our qualitative miscarriage study and using the results as part of her master’s essay. As the research associate, GG helps design, implement, and analyze the results of several research projects, including our annual survey of graduating family medicine residents trained in abortion care and our new survey of miscarriage care in community health centers.

In May, Stephanie Blaufarb joined RHAP as our program and administrative associate. Stephanie became passionate about reproductive health during her Peace Corps service in the Republic of Vanuatu where she worked as a community health worker. She organized adolescent health education camps and women’s health workshops covering HIV/AIDS, STIs, and family planning. Stephanie is currently pursuing a master’s degree in public health at Hunter College. Prior to joining RHAP Stephanie worked at the Fort Tryon Park Trust, Columbia University Medical Center, and the Big Sister Association of Greater Boston.
