What is your major/minor?
Human Health BA & Dance & Movement Studies BA

Why did you decide to major/minor in Human Health at Emory?
When I came to Emory, I felt very torn between my interests in STEM and the humanities. I loved that the Human Health department allowed me to combine disciplines and embrace my writing skills alongside science.

Once you receive your degree in Human Health at Emory, what's next for you?
I am hoping to begin a career as a health and science journalist while continuing to perform in freelance dance projects.

What advice do you have for someone considering a major/minor in Human Health at Emory?
Embrace the opportunities that interest you, no matter how non-traditional they may be! I would not be the person or student that I am if I had not had the opportunity to study dance, writing, and human health together.

What part of the Emory experience do you enjoy the most?
I loved working with Professor McKenna and writing for the Health News Team [on the Exploring Health Blog]. Her mentorship helped me develop my voice as a writer and gave me the opportunity to meet and interview so many incredible researchers, physicians, and artists. I also loved dancing with Emory Dance Company all four years of college!
