My goal is to use my MPH to work in health administration and policy development within the public sector or non-profit field to develop, implement, and evaluate policy and programs that affect the public’s health. Through my career and other civic participation efforts, I hope to influence local and state policy to advance health equity.

I’m graduating soon with my degree in Public Health and found myself loving everything health promotion and prevention. I plan on continuing my education and applying to a MSN program next year. I wanted to be able to combine my aspirations for public health, science, and being able to help people. I hope to be able to eventually sit for the public health officer licensing exam in the future and used everything I’ve learned to help better population health. It’s all very exciting!
