Bio
Coming from a low income neighborhood with immigrant parents, I have faced and seen health adversities. This experience is something that I carry and bring to the table when topics such as social determinants of health or government assistance programs for minorities are mentioned. With this, I was able to become health equity advocate and public health incoming graduate student. My dream is to have a career in public health policy and healthcare management to further research about health disparities among minority and low-income groups. I am attending Johns Hopkins in Fall 2022 for a Masters of Public Health Sciences in Health Policy and Management. I hope to be a professor or a public health consultant to address health disparities in low-income minority groups.
