Student Ambassador: Joseph Kim

Why did you choose to attend Tulane SPHTM?

Tulane's online MHA program offers the flexibility for me to work at my own pace from anywhere I like, surpassing physical limits in communications with professors and peers, also allowing me to have in-person-like experience with extra convenience. Moreover, online MHA peers range from new graduates, early to veteran careerists from diverse fields all over the world who aspire to become leaders in the U.S. health care system. This unique conglomeration of peers provided me the opportunity to acquire different viewpoints/perspectives effortlessly.

Why are you interested in volunteering as an SPHTM Student Ambassador?

“What you do for yourself dies with you when you leave this world, what you do for others lives on forever,” said Sir Ken Robinson. (In appreciation of all the assistance and guidance I have received from Tulane faculties and peers, I had no other way than to serve as an SPHTM Student Ambassador to give back).

What's your dream job?

Chief Executive Officer.

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

If you aspire to positively impact your neighbors' health, definitely yes!

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

Reading, gardening, watching Youtube

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

Two things I appreciate the most about being a student at SPHTM are flexibility and autonomy. As SPHTM will provide you with all the knowledge and support you need, you can decide what paths to take at your own pace and will.
