Sarah Gutin, BS ’03, is passionate about global reproductive health. She is several years into a PhD program in health behavior and health education at the School of Public Health and has been building a career in public health for over a decade.
I was Pre-Med in undergrad. I was all set to go to medical school. But then I took a public health class the first semester of my senior year at Michigan. It oriented me to looking at things through a different lens.
I’m interested in death and dying. I want to destigmatize mortality. It’s a topic that I don’t think many people talk about. Ironically, I believe that thinking about our own mortality can help us to live more fully.
What gives me hope is that people at the School of Public Health are here and not elsewhere because they believe in this idea of helping to advance the public's health. That inspires me.
