Educational/professional background
I recently graduated from the University of Richmond in Virginia with a BA in Health Studies and Politics, Philosophy, Economics, and Law (PPEL). I鈥檝e had a couple of internships over the years in community health, health insurance, and abortion access.
Research interests or career goals
I am still in the process of figuring out my specific career goals, but I am particularly interested in reproductive, sexual, and mental health! I hope to do some work with NGOs in the future.
Why I chose LSHTM/my programme
I chose LSHTM because I wanted an education with a truly global perspective. MSc Public Health at LSHTM has this incredible international focus that I don鈥檛 think I would have gotten if I stayed in the U.S. Plus, the mix of people from all over the world makes class discussions so much more interesting and meaningful!
Extra information
I know it can be scary moving to a new country, but LSHTM is really helpful! I鈥檓 happy to chat and give any advice I can on how to make the move go as smoothly as possible.
