Amanda Saving is pursuing a master's degree in public health at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. She graduated from Rice University with a bachelor's degree in health sciences and social policy analysis. Saving's interests lie at the intersection of preventive health and public policy, with a focus on firearm injuries and maternal and pediatric populations. She currently researches the impact of anemia and COVID-19-related risk factors on women, as well as adolescent contraceptive access. Previously, Saving conducted pediatric health policy research at the Baker Institute for Public Policy and with Brady: United Against Gun Violence, examining healthcare providers' comfort with firearm safety conversations with patients. During her undergraduate studies, she held leadership roles in Planned Parenthood Generation Action, the Office of Academic Support for Undergraduate Students, and Basyk, an on-campus dance group. Through the Graduate Archer Fellowship, Saving aims to strengthen her skills in translating research into policy development.
