Why did you choose to attend Tulane SPHTM?
After attending the admitted students day, I felt a sense of belonging here at Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. Also, while I was applying, I was in contact with several faculty members who were nothing less than supportive and helpful.
Why are you interested in volunteering as an SPHTM Student Ambassador?
As students apply and start to weigh their options to make the best informed decision, I's like to assist them in the task, giving transparent information from a students perspective.
What's your dream job?
Once I graduate, I would like to become a PhD candidate to further explore some of my areas of interest (e.g., mental health, men's heath, and health equity).
What advice would you give someone thinking about getting a degree in public health?
The advice I would give someone who is considering a degree in public health is to reflect on why you want a degree in PH and what jobs and/or opportunities you see yourself pursuing with the degree.
Any hobbies, interests, etc. outside of public health?
My hobbies include: Hanging with friends, reading, trying new recipes, & stepping,
What is the best thing about being a student at SPHTM thus far?
Meeting new students. Everyone here come from an array of different backgrounds. Because of that, I enjoy meeting other students to learn more about them.
