Carmen Heredia Rodriguez

Coming back from a busy, delicious summer break to share my whereabouts. I moved to Chicago. I earned an MPH from Johns Hopkins. I now work as a Senior Consultant at Deloitte. Garbanzo is still the most popular dog I know - like people stop their car to ask about him.

I love connecting amazing women with one another. The whole always ends up greater than the sum of its parts.

@sclaudwhitehead @KFFCats Fantastic news! Congratulations!

@aarickawash Yes you can!

This one sounds fun #contentStart" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">runrocknroll.com/san-diego-meda…

Trying to figure out if I could run a half marathon in 12 weeks…

If only human beings recognized all human beings as “like us.” If only racist ideas did not transform peoples of color into “remote” populations. If only “anyone” included everyone.

@aarickawash Morning: Cetaphil face wash, Aveeno exfoliant, Cetaphil moisturizer and Shiseido sunscreen. Evening: Same face wash and exfoliant, then a couple of drops of tea tree oil and almond oil. Every week, I also do a charcoal and honey mask from Origins. It's a great product.

Black women: Trying to get a full skin care routine going…what’s your morning and night skincare routine? And what products are your favorite?

@K_Hought I feel that. Because I have two last names, both of us are switching to a hyphenated version that includes his and one of mine.

@ByCHRodriguez I so get this question. We thought about hyphens for a bit but my partner's last name already has one hyphen & we decided two would be a bit much. I've kept my maiden name for work, though it can get confusing and means most people still just know me by that.

For folks who married and changed their last name after building a career: do you stick to your old name in professional settings or switch to the new one?

@aarickawash Happy birthday, Aaricka!

I’m 30 today! I can’t believe it. I think my 14-year-old self would be extremely proud of me. I am who she needed. I am who all my former selves needed. I aim to continue to push myself even more in this new chapter. 💛

The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments Wednesday over whether Mississippi can ban abortions after 15 weeks, the most serious challenge to Roe v. Wade in 30 years. Here’s a look at what the justices have said previously about abortion. apne.ws/iQsnUKu

What is the probability of me getting a good score on my stats final? If I do well, I should be able to solve that.

When folks think about highly vaccinated places in America They think Vermont or CT or MA Those places are good But not the most vaccinated place in America So who's #1? Puerto Rico! But PR has gotten way too little attention Its worth reflecting on how they did it Thread

Qualitative research instructor: Awkward silence is a great way to get a participant to share more information during an interview. Me: Hold my beer.
