Bio

I am a Master of Public Health student at the University of Florida specializing in Epidemiology, driven by a commitment to data-driven organizational excellence and healthcare operations. My academic journey is marked by high-level acceleration; I earned my Bachelor of Public Health with a 3.87 GPA in December 2025, while simultaneously completing graduate-level coursework to transition seamlessly into my MPH program. To complement my scientific background, I completed minors in Mass Communication and Public Relations, equipping me with the unique ability to translate complex health data into clear, impactful messaging. Beyond the classroom, I am a seasoned leader with a proven track record in managing complex logistics for large-scale organizations. Currently, I serve as the Vice President of Recruitment for Zeta Tau Alpha, where I direct recruitment strategies for a chapter of over 300 members. My professional background includes a specialized internship in Environmental, Health, Safety, and Sustainability at Coca-Cola Beverages Florida, where I leveraged data analytics to support regulatory compliance and water stewardship. Whether I am optimizing budgets to increase project funding as the Director of Finance for advnt or leading sessions on community health awareness for Dance Marathon, I thrive at the intersection of administrative precision and public health advocacy. My goal is to leverage my multidisciplinary background in epidemiology and communications to improve health outcomes through strategic leadership and clear, data-driven storytelling.

Dorothy Walker Dearon Scholarship
I did not choose public health simply as an academic path, I chose it because inequity in healthcare is a problem I am determined to help solve. My ambition is rooted in a clear vision: to reduce health disparities among communities of color by using data, research, and advocacy to drive systemic change. This goal shapes every academic and professional decision I make, and it continues to fuel my growth as a public health scholar and leader. Academically, I am pursuing a Master of Public Health with a concentration in Epidemiology at the University of Florida to gain the analytical and research skills necessary to understand and address population-level health inequities. Epidemiology is not just a field of study for me; it is a powerful tool for uncovering disease patterns, identifying risk factors, and informing prevention strategies that can improve outcomes for marginalized communities. I am driven to excel in this program because I recognize that strong, evidence-based public health practice is essential to creating equitable healthcare systems. My drive is reflected in my consistent pursuit of leadership, professional development, and applied experience alongside rigorous academics. With a 3.87 GPA and experience managing complex operations for organizations of over 300 members, I have demonstrated my ability to balance high expectations while leading with purpose. Through my internship in Environmental, Health, Safety & Sustainability at Coca-Cola Beverages Florida, I strengthened my ability to analyze data, support regulatory compliance, and collaborate across teams to advance public-facing health and sustainability initiatives. These experiences have reinforced my belief that meaningful impact occurs when strong leadership is paired with data-driven decision making. Impact is at the core of my career aspirations. Professionally, I aim to work in epidemiological research, public health agencies, or policy-focused organizations where I can contribute to initiatives that directly address the disproportionate burden of disease and limited access to care faced by people of color. As a biracial woman, I bring a nuanced understanding of how race, identity, and social determinants intersect with health outcomes. I am committed to using this perspective to advocate for culturally competent, inclusive public health interventions and to increase minority representation within the field. Ultimately, my goal is to be a catalyst for change, someone who not only identifies disparities, but actively works to dismantle the systems that sustain them. Through research, community engagement, and policy advocacy, I intend to help build a healthcare landscape where equity is not aspirational, but expected. This scholarship would support my continued pursuit of academic excellence and amplify my ability to create lasting, meaningful impact in public health.
Bold Moments No-Essay Scholarship
On this day, I scored my first goal on my new team. I was struggling with my confidence after moving from one soccer club to another, and would never take any shots in fear of being criticized by my teammates if I missed. However, after a long talk with my coach, he reminded me that everyone makes mistakes, and that a game of soccer would not really be soccer if no one messed up. The next game we played I took a chance and shot from about 18 yards out and ended up scoring. We won 2-0!
