“Tell me about yourself.”
I am from a small town on the North coast of Oregon and I am majoring in Global and Public Health Sciences. I am interested in all things health related especially regarding systems-level health policies that impact our everyday lives. In my work as a career assistant I have learned more about the various interests of HumEc students and I look forward to meeting more students in the wonderful HumEc community this semester!
Where do you see yourself in the future?
In the future I plan to work in a health related field. I haven’t yet decided if I want to pursue medicne or public health, but after graduation I will most likely continue my education to earn my MD or MPH degree. I am particularly interested in womens reproductive health, nutrition, and rural community health. In the future, I want to work in a variety of communitties around the world to support the health of the global community.
