WinnerBio
I am a creative and resilient student pursuing a career in public health. My goal is to improve the mental well-being of children and young adults through research and data-driven policy. My personal interests include heavy metal music, going to the gym, photography, and providing mental health support/crisis counseling services!
As a student now, scholarships would let me recover from grief and loss in my family and contribute more passionately to the communities around me. Thank you for visiting my profile and for your support.

Dream career goals:
I began my undergraduate career as an English major, as I was interested in the power of creative storytelling and understanding the world through narrative. I wanted to use my interest in the arts to become a well-rounded physician. My personal experiences have inspired me to be bold in my career ambitions. I am passionate about improving adolescent and young adult mental health on a systemic level and see myself in a data-driven public health position. Further down the line, I hope to reach the executive level within a healthcare company.
