Meet The ECHO Team
Arielle Trovato, Founder and ECHO Trainer at Davidson College
As a recent graduate of Davidson College, Arielle was driven to combine her love for entrepreneurship, community service, and teaching to make a lasting impact on communities. As an EMT and BLS instructor, she believes that mobilizing and uniting pre-health students around hands-on community interventions is the key to real, sustainable change. She believes real change happens when passionate individuals unite around a shared mission. Collaboration and community are true catalysts for impact. Her work reflects a deep commitment to health equity, education, and collaborative problem-solving.

Smaran Sivashankar, ECHO Trainer at UNC Chapel Hill
My name is Smaran Sivashankar and I am a rising fourth year student at UNC Chapel Hill studying Health Policy and Management. Over the past two years, I have co-led a CPR initiative to deliver culturally competent CPR training at various community, language, and religious centers and health fairs. We aim to address financial and geographic barriers by providing free and inclusive training. To date, we have taught over 1,000 citizens in 39 classes.
Theadora Welland, ECHO Trainer at UNC Asheville
Theadora Welland is a 2025 graduate of UNC Asheville, where she served as President of the Pre-Health Professions Program. In partnership with the RACE-CARS Trial and Buncombe County EMS, she developed a youth-centered “Train-the-Trainer” model to expand access to compression-only CPR education across Buncombe County. She is implementing the program by preparing high school students to serve as CPR instructors while engaging them in structured leadership and professional development. Additionally, she is collaborating with pre-health students at UNCA to build a sustainable campus-based training cohort that supports ongoing community outreach. Passionate about health equity and community engagement, Theadora combines evidence-based strategies with grassroots implementation to create sustainable and scalable public health interventions.
