Theadora Welland is a 2025 graduate of UNC Asheville, where she served as President of the Pre-Health Professions Program. In partnership with the RACE-CARS Trial and Buncombe County EMS, she developed a youth-centered “Train-the-Trainer” model to expand access to compression-only CPR education across Buncombe County. She is implementing the program by preparing high school students to serve as CPR instructors while engaging them in structured leadership and professional development. Additionally, she is collaborating with pre-health students at UNCA to build a sustainable campus-based training cohort that supports ongoing community outreach. Passionate about health equity and community engagement, Theadora combines evidence-based strategies with grassroots implementation to create sustainable and scalable public health interventions.
