What is your major/minor?
Human Health (BA) with the Health Innovation concentration and a double major in Business (BBA)

Why did you decide to major/minor in Human Health at Emory?
After I went through a gruesome injury in high school and seeing countless doctors, surgeons, and physical therapists, I became more interested in learning about our healthcare system and its comparisons to other global health systems. I got interested in pursuing a Human Health degree because of my desire to learn not only about the scientific implications of health, but also the social and societal impacts of health and well-being at a macro level.

Once you receive your degree in Human Health at Emory, what's next for you?
I will be working in healthcare consulting after graduation.

What advice do you have for someone considering a major/minor in Human Health at Emory?
Do it! I've greatly enjoyed my time as a student in the Human Health department. Overall, the professors are deeply passionate about the subjects they teach and the major is a great option for Emory students because there are many different avenues to pursue after graduating Emory. Studying Human Health at Emory was easily one of the best decisions I made during my four years.

What part of the Emory experience do you enjoy the most?
The relationships I have been able to cultivate with fellow students, professors, and faculty/staff throughout different classes and clubs I have been involved with have impacted my Emory experience the most.
