I am an alumna of Virginia Tech and a recent graduate from the University of Michigan School of Public Health with an MPH in Health Behavior and Health Education. My public health passions lie in creating and implementing public health programs that ensure more equitable health outcomes, in a variety of spaces. Through education, employment, and internship opportunities, I had the ability to grow as a public health professional and practice project management, grant management, and program evaluation. I currently work as a Research Associate with the School of Nursing at the University of Michigan, working alongside a team that aims to increase substance abuse prevention and harm reduction efforts.
