Claudia Gutierrez, MPH
Claudia Gutierrez, MPH, is the Public Relations Specialist for the Million Veteran Program (MVP), one of the largest programs in the world studying genes and health and the largest research effort at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. She’s an accomplished communications expert with a unique background in the art of immersive storytelling, the science of public health, and the craft of behavior change communications.
Before coming to the VA, she was part of an immersive storytelling movement at the U.S. Agency for International Development that transformed the way the government agency communicates their impact with the American and global community, through humanizing stories that inspire, and helped designed the agency’s first regional public awareness campaign, which was based on immersive storytelling in the Middle East and North Africa and won a prestigious award for its use of digital public relations.
Her experience spans the Federal Government and non-profit sector and includes design and implementation of both national and international outreach campaigns across the United States, North Africa, Middle East, and Southern Africa.
