About Mo Alatar
PUBLIC HEALTH, DATA, AND THOUGHTFUL WORK
I’m Mo, an epidemiologist with a background in chemistry, sociology, and anthropology, and a long-standing interest in how systems shape health, work, and everyday life.
My work sits at the intersection of public health, data, technology, and communication. I focus on making complex ideas more legible through writing, visual storytelling, teaching, and tools that help people think more clearly about the world they’re navigating.
I earned my Bachelor of Science from Agnes Scott College (Go Scotties!) and my Master’s in Epidemiology from the Georgia State University School of Public Health (Go Panthers!), where I graduated summa cum laude. I’ve worked with nonprofit and public health organizations in Atlanta, including the Carter Center, the Center for Black Women’s Wellness, and the Clarkston Community Health Center, contributing to research, program implementation, and community-centered work.
Alongside formal training, I’ve always been drawn to creative work, often using photography, video, and design to complement my academic and professional work. Teaching has also been a throughline in my career, shaping how I approach learning, communication, and capacity-building.
This site is my home base for field notes, reflections, and selected writing on public health, technology, productivity, and the quieter systems that shape our lives.
If you’re interested in thoughtful work that values clarity over noise and curiosity over performance, you’re in the right place.
