Brandon Karkovice

I'm excited about applying behavioral science solutions to digital health problems and creating solutions that prioritize addressing health disparities. I’m skilled in program evaluation, assessing impact on systems and health outcomes, applied behavioral sciences, strategy assessments at the organization level and health education evaluation design. I'm also passionate about developing creative solutions to addressing social determinants of health at the root, supporting healthy habit formation that leads to sustainable change, and encouraging emotional wellbeing.
