In this role, she leads efforts to build and strengthen partnerships with foundations, health systems, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and other external stakeholders. She works across the School to connect faculty expertise, research, and academic programs with external partners, expand opportunities for collaboration and funding, and advance the reach and impact of the School's public health initiatives.
Prior to joining GW, Dr. Hackett spent more than 15 years in federal public service, including senior leadership roles at the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy and Office of the Vice President of the United States. Her work has focused on advancing public health policy, strengthening partnerships across sectors, and translating research into policy and practice, with particular expertise in substance use disorder and overdose prevention. She was also a Fulbright-Fogarty Fellow in Thailand, where she worked on substance use prevention research and evaluation in Southeast Asia.
Dr. Hackett has taught public health and policy at GW and Johns Hopkins University. She earned her Doctor of Public Health and Master of Public Health degrees from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and holds both a bachelor's degree and a Master of Public Policy from The George Washington University.
