Interesting volunteer/work experience...
I volunteered at the Connecticut Valley Hospital working with people suffering from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Also, I volunteered at the Community Health Center, researching interprofessionalism amongst the health care team. I work in a schizophrenia cognition laboratory.
The issue I am most passionate about in public health is...
Making mental health care accessible and affordable to all.
One fun fact about me is...
I watched an open heart surgery last winter at the University of Maryland and I am flying from Cape Town, South Africa!
