Why did you choose to attend Tulane?
I chose Tulane WSPH for its strong global reputation in public health and its specialized MPH program in International Health and Sustainable Development. The school’s focus on practical, interdisciplinary training, paired with its deep ties to global health organizations, aligned perfectly with my passion for addressing health disparities in low and middle-income countries. Tulane’s commitment to equity, sustainability, and hands-on learning stood out to me, and I knew it was the ideal place to develop the skills and perspective needed to create meaningful impact on a global scale.
Why are you interested in volunteering as a student ambassador?
I see the Student Ambassador role as a meaningful platform to give back to the Tulane community while uplifting the next generation of public health leaders. As someone who deeply values mentorship and peer connection, I want to help new and prospective students navigate their journey with confidence and clarity. Serving as an ambassador allows me to represent the values that drew me to WSPH - equity, innovation, and global impact to share my personal experiences in a way that builds community and inspires engagement. It’s also an opportunity to grow as a leader while contributing to a program that I’m proud to be a part of.
What's your dream job?
My dream job is to work at the intersection of global health policy, innovation, and sustainable development with the WHO. I want to lead impactful initiatives that improve access to healthcare, strengthen health systems in underserved regions, and ensure culturally grounded solutions are integrated into global health strategies. I am also deeply interested in research, especially in generating evidence that informs equitable health policies and drives long-term sustainable interventions. Ultimately, I hope to contribute to designing scalable data-informed solutions that tackle the root causes of health inequities worldwide.
What advice would you give someone thinking about getting a degree in public health?
I would encourage them to approach public health not just as a career path, but as a commitment to understanding and improving the systems that shape human well-being. This field is broad and deeply interdisciplinary, so take time to explore different areas from policy to epidemiology to global health and find what truly resonates with you. Be prepared to challenge yourself, listen to diverse perspectives, and ground your work in empathy and evidence. Most importantly, enter the field with humility, resilience, and a commitment to equity because the work you do will influence lives far beyond your own.
Any hobbies, interests, etc. outside of public health?
In my free time, I read books, follow current affairs, watch sports, play chess and badminton, create art and listen to music.
What is the best thing about being a student at Tulane thus far?
The best part of being a student at Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine is the pride of belonging to one of the top 10 public health schools in the country. Tulane offers an exceptional academic environment grounded in global impact, social equity, and interdisciplinary learning. I’ve been inspired by the passion of the faculty, the diversity of the student body, and the opportunity to engage in meaningful, real-world conversations about public health challenges. Being part of this community has expanded my perspective and strengthened my commitment to becoming a leader in global health.
