Elle L. Lynch - Public Health Advocate, Writer, Creative Placemaker
Elle creates written work, experiences and third spaces that support community and raise awareness at the intersection of social, cultural, and environmental issues.
Elle received a degree in History from the College of Charleston and an Masters in Public Health from the University of Nebraska Medical Center, where her study concerned reproductive justice, social determinants of health, the benefits of urban greening, and the role of storytelling as an essential component of healing, and the generation of a more just and joyful future.
She is currently the Reproductive Health Project Manager for UNC Health Sciences at MAHEC, where she supports programs addressing maternal health equity and gender affirming care. Elle is a full spectrum doula specializing in abortion and postpartum support, and believes strongly in the radical power of community care. She is passionate about improving access to respectful, comprehensive reproductive healthcare for all people.
Elle’s writing has appeared in newspapers, magazines, blogs, and scholarly journals. Her consulting services have been utilized by community based and national level organizations to develop multimedia content and innovative programming that center the stories of lived experience.
As a cook, Elle owned and operated the raw vegan Clean Plate, the much loved farm to table restaurant Daily Grub, the collaborative Food Cart Project, and the subscription service Comfort Soup + Pie. These projects were motivated by a desire to bring people together around good food and cultivate a conversation about where our food comes from and the people who grow it.
Elle lives in Omaha with her partner, artist Joey Lynch, two rambunctious kids, three cats, and a scruffy dog, in a much loved "cheap old house" with a sprawling kitchen garden.
