Why did you choose to attend Tulane?
I chose to attend Tulane because of its strong reputation in public health education, particularly its focus on global and tropical health. Tulane’s emphasis on hands-on learning and practical experience aligns perfectly with my career goals of working on health disparities and improving health outcomes in underserved communities.

Additionally, Tulane offers access to renowned faculty, research opportunities, and a diverse student body, all fostering a collaborative and inspiring learning experience. Receiving the 1912 Founder's Scholarship further reinforced my decision, as it reflects Tulane's commitment to supporting students who are passionate about making a meaningful impact in the field of public health.
