Polo Hedriana(she/her) joins us as HealthierHere's new Communications Specialist! Read more in Polo's welcome interview below:

What are you most looking forward to working with HealthierHere and our partners?

I am really looking forward to getting to know more about all of the different communities that we serve. I moved out to Seattle right after finishing college, and one of my favorite things about living here is seeing how all of the diverse communities in this city come together to create a such a unique cultural landscape. I absolutely love getting to know more and more about all the people who make Seattle a place I enjoy living.

What drives your passion for this work?

My background is in media production, and within that line of work, I've really enjoyed having opportunities to tell people's stories that otherwise would go unheard. I'm looking forward to elevating the voices, struggles, and accomplishments of all the people that we serve.

What is something about you that others might not know?

I love repairing musical instruments! I got started out of necessity when I was a kid since guitar and bass repairs were more expensive than a 10 year-old can afford, and since then I've gone on to take on whatever repairs I can from friends, family, and even from a few professional musicians.
