Her teaching and research focuses on systemic drivers of reproductive and maternal health disparities, experiences and outcomes; workforce development for doulas and community-based perinatal providers; and public health pedagogy. Dr. Ofrane was the 2024 recipient of the Effective Practice Award from the American Public Health Association Maternal and Child Health Section, which honors individuals whose work has made a significant contribution to effective public health practice within maternal and child health.
Dr. Ofrane has worked in public health practice for nearly 20 years, and was previously the Executive Director of Maternal and Child Health Services at the NJ Department of Health, Co-Director of the City Health Dashboard program at NYU Langone School of Medicine Department of Population Health, and the Children's Environmental Health Coordinator for U.S. EPA Region II, among other roles.
