I am from Cincinnati, Ohio. My interest in public health stems from my passion for cancer prevention and LGBTQ+ health equity. The Public Health Sociology program provides a background on how social factors impact the health of communities.
What drew you to a public health education?
Public health has always interested me because of its unique blend of disciplines and the way that it impacts almost every part of life. I really appreciate how it combines my interests of health, social justice, and policy into one multifaceted education.
What are your goals for the future?
I hope to earn my MPH in health behavior and health promotion before I pursue a medical degree. I would like to use my public health background to contribute meaningful research to the body of knowledge around health disparities and be a more compassionate physician.
How do you spend your time outside of academia?
Outside of academia, I enjoy playing guitar, going to concerts, running, working out and doing outdoor activities like hiking, canoeing, and camping. I also really enjoy traveling to different countries and experiencing different cultures.
