Ivy DiBiase

Prevention Specialist

“I am committed to placing equity at the forefront of public health strategies by ensuring underserved communities are uplifted, centered, and properly supported.”

Ivy (she/they) is the Prevention Specialist for San Diego’s East Region Substance Use Prevention Program, where she supports community-led, upstream prevention efforts. Ivy recently graduated from Boston University with her Master of Public Health, during which she had the opportunity to collaborate with community-based organizations, including Boston Climate Action Network and Transformational Prison Project. These experiences allowed Ivy to develop a passion for community-level public health work and a deep commitment to advancing health equity. Additionally, their experience volunteering with Boston Alliance of LGBTQ+ Youth (BAGLY) to facilitate Youth Pride and the Queer Activist Conference inspired them to pursue a career involving advocacy for underserved and underrepresented communities.
