About Me

I am in my final year of college at washington-university">George washington-university">Washington University, soon to earn my bachelor's degree in Public Health. I love learning about maternal and child health, HIV/AIDS, and access to health care and applying my knowledge and skills through community service. When I graduate, I hope to continue my public health and community development work with the Peace Corps. When I return to the US, I hope to earn my Master's degree in Public Health and use my experiences and skills to design, implement, and evaluate programs to improve maternal health around the world.
