About

My name is Jordanne Pena and I am currently attending the University of Nevada, Reno. I am majoring in Community Health Science and my focus is on Public Health. I am also considering a minor in Gerontology. My aspirations are to either become a Medical Doctor and work in emergency medicine or to be a Physician's Assistant. With these two career paths, I hope to make an impact on peoples daily lives big or small. I love fitness, health and when working in the medical field I will be able to spread the knowledge and educate people about these areas. As well as help people become healthier and happier.
