Siobhan Murphy-Boyd
Event Coordinator
Siobhan was born in Montreal, Canada, but spent much of her life in a small canyon outside Los Angeles. At 18, she moved to San Francisco, where she received her BA in Psychology. While she continued to be passionate about studying social sciences, she felt she needed a better understanding of how healthcare access and quality influence individuals on a day-to-day basis, so came an MBA in Healthcare Management. Shortly after completing her master’s, she moved to Amsterdam, where she lived for nearly two years, working at the Dutch fintech company Mollie. With much of her family still in Los Angeles, Siobhan returned to LA during the Coronavirus pandemic. It was there that she began working for a non-profit that focused on health equity in underserved communities. Her role as a project and vaccination system coordinator allowed her unique insight into the needs of the patients and illuminated the importance of high-quality, affordable healthcare. During that period, she was exposed to the limitations of the current healthcare model and the disproportionate impact it has on low-income populations, which motivated her to pursue a second master’s, this one in Social Policy. In 2022, she began an MSc program at Trinity College in Dublin. Upon graduation in June 2023, Siobhan decided to move back to Amsterdam in hopes of finding work in an equally fast-paced and fulfilling organization. With great admiration for the work being performed by international non-profits, she believes that her work with Status Plus will allow her to support and contribute to their powerful impact on the international community.
