What is your major/minor?
Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology with a minor in Global Health, Culture, and Society.

Why did you decide to major/minor in Human Health at Emory?
My passion for Global and Public Health came to light my junior year of college through the countless initiatives the world was taking during the COVID-19 pandemic. I wanted to grow my knowledge in not only this but other interventions the world was taking tackling maternal and child health. My passion grew with the wide range of classes and research opportunities that Rollins and the Human Health program provided.

Once you receive your degree in Human Health at Emory, what's next for you?
Working on global health research in Texas!

What advice do you have for someone considering a major/minor in Human Health at Emory?
Take full advantage of the diverse range of classes that the program offers. Expose yourself to not only what interests you but what sets you up with a good foundation on human health. (Take a class with Dr Cranmer!)

What part of the Emory experience do you enjoy the most?
I enjoy the various communities/clubs I have built and integrated myself to be a part of and Dooley's week in the Spring!
