Hometown: North Attleboro, Massachusetts
Undergraduate Degree: B.S. in Public Health, Minor in Psychology, Institution: The University of Massachusetts-Amherst
Public Health Interests: I am interested in community health and advocating for accessibility to vaccine clinics, public transportation to doctors appointments, and educating the community about public health.
Public Health Experience: In undergrad, I worked at the UMass Public Health Promotion Center working as a contact tracer as my internship my senior year of college and worked as a case investigator at The Rhode Island Department of Health for COVID-19.
Why I chose UNC Charlotte MPH Program: I chose the UNC Charlotte MPH program because I wanted to expand my public health knowledge to different areas of the country; I have only seen how public health is executed in New England where I grew up and went to college in and I wanted to see how what I learned there that I can bring new and different ideas to help others out in a community that I am not familiar with.
