I am a third year joint MSW-MPH candidate at Wayne State University. I did my undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience. As a graduate student, I am learning to address population health through public health, while developing social work skills to address social determinants of health and disparities. As a type-1 diabetic and cardiac patient, I have had personal challenges with health. With the resources to overcome these challenges and live a healthy life, and after recognizing the role of privilege and access to these resources, I committed myself to fighting for equitable health outcomes for all. In my career, I aim to increase access to and improve the quality of healthcare nationally.
