About us

Our Mission

From Girl to Great empowers young women to lead in healthcare, policy, and health economics by providing the knowledge, mentorship, and resources they need to succeed.

What is From Girl to Great?

From Girl to Great is a platform dedicated to empowering the next generation of women in healthcare and leadership. Through insightful podcast conversations, industry events, and mentorship, it provides young women with the knowledge, inspiration, and guidance to navigate careers in healthcare, policy, and health economics.

Why Did We Set Up From Girl to Great?

When people think about healthcare careers, they often picture doctors or nurses. But healthcare is so much more—technology innovators, public health advocates, strategists, and policy makers all make a difference.

At From Girl to Great, we’re breaking down stereotypes and showcasing the diverse paths women can take in healthcare leadership. We empower young women to see themselves as leaders in health equity, innovation, and advocacy.

Together, we’re building a new generation of passionate, driven health leaders ready to challenge the status quo.

About the Founder

Alana Kendall

Hi, I’m Alana Kendall, a high school student living in the UK and the founder of From Girl to Great. I am passionate about healthcare, policy, and health economics due to my experience of living with type 1 diabetes. I created this platform to empower young women with the knowledge, mentorship, and inspiration they need to succeed in the industry.

Through my podcast, I interview trailblazing women in healthcare who share their journeys, challenges, and leadership insights. Whether it’s navigating career paths, breaking barriers, or shaping the future of healthcare, my goal is to provide young women with real-world advice and the confidence to pursue their ambitions.
