My long-term goal is to pursue graduate studies in Environmental Health and build a career in public health research and community health improvement. I am particularly interested in environmental exposures, epidemiology, health disparities, and global public health initiatives. I hope to gain experience through environmental health research, internships, and international public health programs before pursuing a master's degree. Ultimately, I aspire to contribute to research, policy, and community-based programs that improve health outcomes, expand health equity, and create healthier environments for vulnerable populations around the world.

I am interested in pursuing a graduate degree in Environmental Health with interests in environmental justice, community health, and global public health. Through graduate study, research, and internship experiences, I hope to better understand how environmental factors influence health outcomes and develop solutions that improve the well-being of communities. In the future, I hope to contribute to public health and sustainability efforts through organizations such as UNICEF, public health agencies, or corporate Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) and ESG initiatives that promote healthier and more equitable communities.

Walking, nature photography, environmental science, marine life, wildlife conservation, Earth science, traveling, and learning about global environmental issues. I also enjoy discussing science and environmental topics with my father and exploring how environmental factors influence human health.
