Bryn Coughlan

Associate, Development  

Bryn is a Development Associate at Essence and will work alongside the team on all project deliverables. She is passionate about building healthier and happier communities. After eight years working in healthcare consulting and delivery, Bryn realized that access to care alone is not sufficient to improve a population’s health outcome. Recognizing the influence environment, community resources, and housing have on wellbeing, Bryn committed to creating housing and communities that empower healthy and high-quality lifestyles for tenants. Bryn is an MBA candidate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Sloan School of Business and received a Bachelor of Arts in Public Health, with honors, from Brown University. In her free time, Bryn loves to cook new recipes she finds on the NY Times Cooking app, golfing and going on hikes with her golden retriever, Benny.
