Nina Worth served her fellowship in Rockingham County and played a key role in the County’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Her analysis on hazard pay related to COVID-19 for county employees was used in communities across North Carolina. She redesigned the County’s website to ensure it was accessible and responsive for citizens and worked on projects to increase internet access for low-income students to participate in virtual school.
