Why did you choose to attend Tulane SPHTM?

The deciding factor was the integrated residency, as well as how much weight Tulane's name carries throughout the healthcare sphere in Louisiana, and even around the country.

What's your dream job?

Ideally I would like to be accepted to an ACHE fellowship once I'm graduated.

What advice would you give someone thinking about getting a degree in public health?

At least for a MHA candidate, I would recommend to network as much as possible.  A lot more people are willing to give career advice than you might realize, and connections and wisdom are key to success in the business world.

Any hobbies, interests, etc. outside of public health?

Bodybuilding, basketball, cooking

What is the best thing about being a student at SPHTM thus far?

My favorite part about being a student at the SPHTM so far is the resources that are available to us. Individuals such as Dr. Van Bree and Mr. Boillotat have been very helpful so far, and I am excited to see what other tools Tulane provides to our professional development.
