    Why did you choose public health?

    I ultimately chose public health because I wanted to be of help to underserved populations and communities that didn't receive the type of opportunities that I did while growing up. I want be a part of a change in the world we haven't seen yet!

    Why did you choose MEZCOPH?

    chose to attend MEZCOPH because of passion that radiates from this college. On top of the opportunities that are available here and the amazing curriculum , everyone is more than willing to help out the communities surrounding us. Many schools aren't able to offer me academic opportunity and experience within the community, so when I found a school that could, I had to jump on the chance to attend!

    Public health interests:

    Behavioral Health, Health Disparities, Health Promotion, Integrative Medicine

    Internship:

    I am interning at Empowerment Systems, Inc. which is giving me the opportunity to learn how to develop, deliver and evaluate health education in the community utilizing a multi-dimensional approach, along with learning how to oversee community-based programs.

    Interests/hobbies outside of school:

    Outside of school, I love to dance and to travel whenever I can. I enjoy experiencing new and different things...and eating a good meal while I'm at it!

    Tip for future students:

    My biggest tip for future students is to work hard and play hard. Many of us are guilty of overworking ourselves and not spending enough time on self-care. In my experience, taking some time to recharge always leads to some of my best work!
