I am a passionate public health professional with a Master of Public Health degree from the University of Arkansas and a Certified Health Education Specialist credential. I have a strong interest in health promotion and substance use , and I have gained valuable research and practical experience in this field. During my graduate studies, I worked as a research assistant at the Health Equity and Addiction Lab, where I conducted literature reviews, data analysis, and manuscript preparation on topics related to substance use and health disparities. I also completed an internship at Drug Prevention Resources, where I assisted with the delivery of prevention education programs and services to youth and families in the community. My goal is to promote positive health behaviors and improve health outcomes through evidence-based interventions and education.
