Blessed Sheriff, the Johns Hopkins-Pulitzer Center Global Health Reporting Fellow of 2023, traveled to Sierra Leone to report on efforts to transform mental health care in the country, including a psychiatric hospital’s innovative caretaking methods and the first class of psychiatry residents trained there. Currently a fourth year medical student at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, she graduated from the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health last year with a special focus in global mental health and research.
