I chose a career in public health because it allows me to embody my values. Too often I feel cynical and despondent when I notice the disparity between my idealistic principles and an unpleasant reality, but I am confident in my ability to effect positive change through dedication and hard work.Education and experience are only as valuable as the individual who possesses them. Not only am I equipped with an unmatched skill set, but I possess genuine heart and compassion that is essential to impact the field of public health.
