BRIAN RINKER


Picture
Brian Rinker ​is ​seeking a dual ​master's ​degree in journalism and public health at the University of California, Berkeley.​ He reports on public health and criminal justice issues​, focusing on marginalized populations.​ Mr. Rinker thrives when working on hard-hitting, heavily reported narrative pieces for all platforms. When he isn't grinding away at his public health studies or running around reporting on social issues, Mr. Rinker enjoys good food, good coffee and good living in San Francisco with his wife, Nicole. 

"I’ve never been anywhere in Africa before and had no idea my first trip would be traveling to Cameroon for a journalism project on such a significant issue— one that could affect the millions of people suffering from infectious diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa. I can’t wait to hit the ground in Yaoundé and begin reporting on a new mobile technology that has reinvigorated global public health efforts to eradicate River Blindness and elephantiasis." 

Journalism topic: Eradication of River Blindness and lymphatic filariasis in Cameroon
