FeLisa Albert, DrPH
Dr. FeLisa Albert began her journey at Cambridge College in 2005 as a student and graduated in 2007, in which she delivered the Commencement address to her peers. After graduation, she remained deeply connected to the College, first serving as a teacher’s assistant, adjunct faculty, and later as senior faculty. In 2020, Cambridge College launched its first-ever undergraduate advising and success coaching model, where Dr. Albert played a key role in the development and implementation phases. She now serves as Assistant Director of Academic Advising and Success Coaching, continuing to center principles of equity, belonging, and well-being in every aspect of her work.
Dr. Albert teaches courses in the Human Services, Criminal Justice, and Wellness and Health Promotion undergraduate programs and oversees the experiential learning component for each—whether through field education, professional development, and career planning, or community-based projects. She integrates critical consciousness into her teaching, guiding students to examine how social determinants in health and education shape both individual and community outcomes, all while centering self-care as a vital part of professional growth and practice.
For over 26 years, Dr. Albert has been a disrupter who has successfully integrated her passion for health and education into a leadership career that spans the fields of nursing, public health, wellness, and education—as an equity consultant, health and wellness practitioner, education leadership coach, educator, and mentor. She is also a business owner, experienced facilitator, panelist, speaker, and published author. Her approach is both practical and profound: examine root causes, scrutinize false narratives, lead with truth, and engage both hearts and minds to cultivate true change agents.
Grounded in a public health lens, Dr. Albert leads with empathy, truth, and purpose—empowering others to become critical conscious leaders within their communities. She considers the places where people live, learn, work, and play to understand how inequities operate on four levels—personal, interpersonal, institutional, and structural—and how these factors ultimately shape quality of life. Through this lens of critical consciousness, she challenges others to see inequity not as isolated issues but as interconnected systems that can be dismantled through awareness, truth-telling, education, and transformative action.
Dr. Albert holds an Associate Degree in Nursing, a Bachelor of Science in Human Services (Cambridge College '07), a Master of Arts in Women’s Health from Suffolk University, and a Doctorate in Public Health (DrPH) with a concentration in Advocacy and Leadership from Capella University. Her published dissertation is entitled “Perceptions and Experiences of Racial Disparities Affecting Massachusetts Black Residents and the Utilization of Health Care Services.” In addition, Dr. Albert is a trained Doula and holds certifications in herbalism, nutrition, life coaching, and health coaching.
