About

I am a graduate of Masters in Public Health and Bachelor of Arts with Summa Cum Laude and Magna Cum Laude. My University for graduate school was CUNY School of Public Health and my undergraduate school was Pace University. I received multiple times dean's list honor and president list honor at the undergraduate level and at the graduate level my cGPA was 3.8 upon completion of the program. I am looking to become an epidemiologist by pursuing a Ph.D. in the next years. Currently, I am looking to publish my thesis paper from graduate school and seek work with a researcher.
