Mikayla Morell is a HelpGuide Handbook health and wellness writer who is passionate about spreading reliable, accessible, and informative health information to people of all backgrounds and identities. Her comprehensive background in healthcare as a home health aide, medical scribe, and phlebotomist, provided hands-on patient care experience that allowed her to understand healthcare from the patient's point of view.
Mikayla recognized that her patients were eager to learn more about their health but didn’t always have the information, education, or resources to do so. She believes that the key to better health is education and accessibility. She has made it her mission to help others get the information they need to feel empowered to take charge of their health.
Mikayla has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of the Arts. Her work is featured on websites such as HelpGuide, National Council on Aging, Everyday Health, and Health.com.
