Andrea Li

Andrea Li, MPH (she/her) is a Senior Project Coordinator at Family Voices, dedicated to advocating for underrepresented communities and their access to quality healthcare and services. As the daughter of first-generation Chinese immigrants in a predominantly white area, Andrea has always sought to amplify marginalized voices. Her passion for advocacy comes from lived experience witnessing the challenges her family faced in securing comprehensive care for her older sister, Katherine, who has cerebral palsy. Andrea saw firsthand the obstacles her parents encountered, especially when Katherine aged out of the school system at 21 and lost access to essential services. This experience inspired Andrea to pursue a career focused on learning the skills and knowledge to help develop community-based and sustainable solutions for individuals facing systematic barriers. Throughout her career, Andrea has held various roles that align with this mission, including positions at a multiple sclerosis nonprofit, a community health worker organization, and the Maternal and Child Health Title V program at the Wisconsin Department of Health. Andrea graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Management and a Bachelor of Science in Public Health. She furthered her education at Boston University, earning a Master of Public Health degree with a focus on Global Health Program Design, Monitoring, and Evaluation, specializing in Maternal and Child Health. She is based in the Greater Boston area and in her free time, enjoys baking, running, and spending time with her dog.
