Sharon Attipoe-Dorcoo, Ph.D., MPH, Principal of TERSHA LLC, is first and foremost grounded in her cultural identity as a Ghanaian-American and embraces her other intersectional facets of being a wife and mom in her work. She is a former board member and sits on the Education Council of AcademyHealth, author of a children’s book, designer, poet, award-winning consultant, and an inaugural member of the Global South Arts and Health Envoy. Dr. Attipoe-Dorcoo is a member of the Advancing Culturally Responsive and Equitable Evaluation Network. She is also an Adjunct Professor at Texas Women’s University, a 2022 Public Voices fellow of AcademyHealth in partnership with TheOpEdProject, and worked previously at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As a community scholar-activist, she found her path from engineering to public health and her work involves engaging national mobile clinic programs. She has almost two decades of experience engaging in a number of projects focused on co-designing culturally responsive and equitable tools for research and evaluation initiatives with communities. As a speaker and facilitator, Dr. Attipoe-Dorcoo has also presented at several conferences, published articles, and book chapters, chairs and serves as an advisor for a number of entities, and facilitated trainings. She is a polyglot, visionary, strategist, builder, leader, and weaver who disrupts dominant narratives by encouraging thought leadership that centers the margins and embraces authentic purpose-driven being.
