    Why did you choose public health?

    I chose public health because I believe that public health provides me with the skills and opportunities to promote and improve health and wellness.

    Why did you choose MEZCOPH?

    I chose MEZCOPH because of the dedication of faculty, students, and all those involved with the college to serving and promoting health in our communities. MEZCOPH has a vast reach and a multitude of partnerships, from border health to food security and nearly everywhere in between, and I chose MEZCOPH so that I could have opportunities to participate in these endeavors.

    Tip for future students:

    Be open and willing to change, being flexible can allow you to find other areas that you may have an undiscovered passion for.
