Why did you choose public health?I believe it's essential to understand all parts of people and communities to find root problems and create health interventions, research, and programs that address the social determinants of health. I love public health and the directions that I can go in to help and empower others.
Why did you choose MEZCOPH?I chose MEZCOPH because I enjoyed my mentors, friends, and support that I had in my undergrad. I feel like I have made so many amazing connections that will span past MEZCOPH.
