Background

About Nicholas Ancona

I’m a project and program manager with 10+ years of experience across the public and nonprofit sectors. I began my career in state and local government, where I supported disease surveillance and public health emergency preparedness efforts—experiences that showed me firsthand how science shapes real outcomes in local communities. Since then, I’ve brought that perspective to national nonprofits and the federal government, connecting experts and advancing public health by providing technical assistance to states and supporting scientific professional development. I bring strong skills in event planning, meeting facilitation, data collection/analysis, and contract administration—along with a clear, organized approach to managing processes. I’m always seeking to broaden my understanding of how public health and science work across government, nonprofit, private, and philanthropy sectors by networking with professionals in the field, so feel free to message me at any time if you are interested in connecting. Currently, I'm actively seeking an employer that will provide opportunities to bring my unique strengths to support health and/or science-focused work that makes a difference.
