I am an enthusiastic graduate of the University of Florida and incoming MPH candidate eager to commit myself to advancing health equity and advancing breast cancer research for underserved communities. My background is in health and clinical research, fundraising, and partnership building using leadership, interpersonal skills, and a whole-team approach. Having received an education in Microbiology and Anthropology, I am passionate about how health is a dynamic, interconnected issue that demands an interdisciplinary and holistic problem-solving approach.
