What's your dream job?
My dream job is to work in the field of maternal, perinatal, and reproductive health research in the future.
What advice would you give someone thinking about getting a degree in public health?
My advice to someone considering a degree in public health would be to thoroughly explore various programs available and choose one that aligns closely with the type of work you envision yourself doing in the future. Public health is a broad field with diverse opportunities, so selecting a program that resonates with your career aspirations and interests is essential.
Any hobbies, interests, etc. outside of public health?
I enjoy baking, going for walks, playing various sports.
