Exposures to dire health conditions in less-fortunate communities domestically and internationally ignited my interest in public health. In college I immersed myself in public-health initiatives by spending summers volunteering at charity clinics in India and working for community-based programs in Managua, Nicaragua. I plan to build upon these experiences by completing a MPhil in Public Health at Cambridge. Through this program, I will gain a deeper understanding of how to apply public health assessment, epidemiological principles, and interventional design to address health disparities. My passion is to utilize this foundation in public health and medicine to tackle emerging health issues in underprivileged communities.
