I tried being a chemistry major for a couple semesters, but then I failed physics. I tried pre-med, but I met a lot of doctors who didn't seem to enjoy their lives. I finally landed on biology of global health, which was a new major at my university.
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 the student president of STATCOM, which stands for Statistics in the Community. STATCOM is a student-led organization that provides statistical services to community groups and local nonprofits free of charge.
I double majored in biology and psychology in college. I thought I had to choose—I could either be a biologist or a social scientist. But I realized epidemiology would allow me integrate the two areas, which is what drew me to public health.
I love interacting with prospective students and undergrads. Mentorship is such a critical piece of me.
Through Innovation in Action, I connected to students across campus to find solutions to public health problems. It becomes a big part of your life when you're doing it.
