Mary Phillips has more than 10 years of Public Health experience, with a specific focus on adolescent sexual and reproductive health rights in Africa. She is skilled in human-centered design and is passionate about creating solutions in partnership with young people. She joined PSI in 2016 but took some time off in 2022 to study French.

Before joining PSI, Mary worked at Evidence Action. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Hamilton College and was the recipient of a Thomas J.
