Ella Anderson (she/her)
Undergraduate Research Assistant, Second Year Public Health – Environmental Public Health Major
I am from Cincinnati, Ohio. I am interested in disparities in the burden of disease, specifically cancer, across different communities and demographic groups.
What drew you to a public health education?
I first became aware of health disparities through learning about the inequality of climate change effects across different socioeconomic groups. From there, I became extremely interested in public health and how I was able to combine my passion for social justice, the environment, and health into a field of study.
What are your goals for the future?
I plan on getting my MPH in Epidemiology, and I hope to go onto work in disease prevention. I would like to for an organization like the CDC or a major hospital and work to reduce the burden of disease in communities.
How do you spend your time outside of academia?
Outside of academia, I love running, going to concerts, and going to Ohio State football games!
