Biography

I am a third-year undergraduate student pursuing Bachelor's degrees in both Public Health and International Relations. My experience within these programs provides me with a unique perspective on health equity, particularly in a global context. Throughout my studies and experience as a research assistant, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with many faculty members on a variety of topics to learn about the research process and gain additional skills within the field of public health.

Goals: Continue working in research on health equity, eventually looking at health experiences of underrepresented populations in a global context
