Master of Public Health Epidemiology and Biostatistics
Hometown: Georgetown, TX Class: 2019 Undergraduate Major: Communication Professional Interests: Global Health Campus Involvement: Texas A&M Public Health Student Association (TAMPHSA); Health and Wellness Committee; Opioid Task Force
Through my involvement at the School of Public Health, I was a part of various projects that prepared me well for my future career as a physician.
I participated in the Clarion Case Competition where I worked with two students from different schools within the Texas A&M Health Science Center to develop a community-based intervention plan to alleviate the burden of homelessness. We traveled to Minnesota after winning the district competition and were excited to place third at the national level.
I loved being part of TAMPHSA because of the social component it brings to the School of Public Health. I served as Vice President of Internal Relations where I helped to promote public health throughout the community. Being part of the Health and Wellness Committee was also another way I was able to help promote public health.
My studies at the school gave me a better understanding of the social determinants of health, which I think many health care providers don’t have enough exposure to. Studying how influenza and other diseases are treated in hospitals in Ecuador during my study abroad peaked my interest in global health.
Currently, I am an infectious disease epidemologist.
