Why did you choose to attend Tulane?
I chose to attend Tulane University's School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine to pursue my MPH in Health Policy because it combines practical learning with strong leadership development in healthcare. The program allows me to explore how policy and management strategies can make care more accessible and efficient while building the skills I need for a career in healthcare consulting. Tulane's collaborative environment encourages students to apply what they learn to real challenges and think critically about ways to improve health systems. Through this program, I'm gaining the tools to help healthcare organizations create fair, effective, and sustainable solutions that strengthen communities and improve patient outcomes.
What's your dream job?
My dream job is to work in healthcare consulting or in a leadership role within a hospital where I can help improve how care is delivered. I want to focus on making healthcare systems more efficient, accessible, and patient-centered by streamlining operations and designing better management strategies. I'm passionate about using data and policy to identify where systems fall short and creating solutions that strengthen care coordination, reduce costs, and improve outcomes. Ultimately, I hope to play a role in transforming how hospitals and healthcare organizations serve their communities.
What advice would you give someone thinking about getting a degree in public health?
I would tell them to keep an open mind and explore the many paths public health offers. Whether you're interested in policy, research, global health, or community work, there's a place for every passion. Public health teaches you to think critically about real-world problems and create solutions that make a difference. My advice is to get involved early, connect with professors and peers, and take advantage of hands-on experiences that help you discover what part of public health inspires you most.
Any hobbies, interests, etc. outside of public health?
In my free time, I enjoy reading, crocheting, traveling, and trying new foods. I also love spending time with my cat, Luna, who keeps me company while I study.
What is the best thing about being a student at Tulane thus far?
The best thing about being a student at WSPH is the supportive community. The professors are approachable, genuinely care about your success, and make time to meet with students during office hours. It's clear that the faculty want you to grow both academically and professionally, which makes Tulane an encouraging place to learn and build connections.
