Yoonjoung "YJ" Choi, MPH, DrPH

As a problem solver, data geek and demographer, YJ has a passion for discovering and sharing information and insight from data. It satisfies her curious mind, helps her reflect, and empowers her. And she is constantly motivated by its impact on people's lives.  

Her methodological expertise includes: demographic techniques, metrics development, monitoring and evaluation, complex survey design, advanced statistical methods, data product development, and capacity strengthening. She has applied these methods to subject areas such as: demographic transition and the demographic dividend, health information systems, quality of care, family planning and reproductive health, and child and neonatal survival.  

She was formerly the Technical Deputy Director for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation-funded Performance Monitoring and Accountability 2020 project, an Associate Scientist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Senior Technical Advisor for Population and Metrics at Bureau for Global Health, USAID. She earned her MPH and DrPH from Johns Hopkins University and BSN from Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea.
