Sage Liu
Public Health Student
“I first started with only a minor, but after taking one Public Health course I fell in love with the field and its potential to improve the health and well-being at a population scale. Something I really appreciate about Public Health is the emphasis on interdisciplinary connections, integrating every aspect of a person's life to create a more holistic understanding of health.”
Priscilla Nguyen

“After graduating, I hope to be admitted to an MD/MPH program and go into a trauma program. After working as a doctor, I want to work in the public health field in infectious diseases and eventually make my way back to a university to teach.”
