My name is Dielle Lundberg.
I am a data analyst and writer working to make health systems do more good (and less harm) for disabled people. I strive to challenge structural ableism in public health and healthcare using data-driven research and critical analysis.
I publish research in peer-reviewed journals and as the founder and lead writer for Ableism & Healthcare Now, an independent research and analysis project about how structural ableism shapes healthcare and public health. I also work on other health science projects, providing project-based research services.

I received an MPH from Boston University School of Public Health in 2019 and was a PhD student at the University of Washington School of Public Health from 2022 to 2024. At that time, I discontinued my studies and determined that pursuing independent research was the most sustainable way for me as a disabled person to continue advancing my scholarship on structural ableism.
