Dr. Tozoe Elaine Marton is an applied social scientist with more than seven years of experience leading rigorous mixed-methods research on maternal health, reproductive health systems, and HIV/AIDS prevention in low- and middle-income countries. She is the founder of YEI Global Health Consulting.

She holds a PhD in Social Policy from Brandeis University's Heller School for Social Policy and Management. For her doctoral research in Kenya, she conducted 66 in-depth interviews with midwives, instructors, and health administrators, examining how colonial reproductive governance legacies and global health mandates shape today's maternal health disparities and midwifery workforce preparedness.

Before joining Into Women’s Hands, Dr. Marton led qualitative and quantitative research at RTI International's Women's Global Health Imperative Center, managing multi-site studies across the United States and sub-Saharan Africa, training field teams in Kenya, and co-authoring peer-reviewed publications. At the Population Council–Kenya, she designed a comparative case study of midwifery training and maternal health services in urban and rural Kenya. Through YEI, she brings this experience to organizations working to close the gap between health policy and practice.
