Serena Mooney is a rising fourth year medical student at the Brody School of Medicine. She graduated from East Carolina University as an EC Scholar with a B.S. in Public Health Studies and a B.A. in Multidisciplinary Studies with an International Studies concentration. Having grown up in Greenville, Serena has always loved giving back to the community that raised her. She was able to continue her service to Greenville as a North Carolina Albert Schweitzer Fellow, where she and her project partner redesigned a free infant and child CPR and choking rescue class for pregnant patients and their families. They also created a free virtual postpartum support group to help new moms through the fourth trimester. As a scholar in the Health System Transformation and Leadership (LINC) Distinction Track, Serena received training in patient safety, quality improvement, interprofessional team-based care, and population health. She is applying these principles to a quality improvement project in the ECU Health NICU that looks at improving communication between providers and parents through scheduled family meetings. Serena hopes to carry her passion for perinatal and women’s health as a future OB/GYN.
In her free time, Serena enjoys plant-based cooking, cross-stitching, and watching reality television!
