I am a recent graduate of the University of Notre Dame, where I majored in Sociology and minored in Latino Studies and Data Science. As an AmeriCorps Public Ally, I now have the privilege of completing a term of service with Health by Design, an Indianapolis-based nonprofit committed to supporting communities in their development of residential spaces, public spaces, and transportation infrastructures that promote healthy living and neighborhood unity. My greatest aspiration is to develop a community health education model that is more culturally competent, narrative-driven, and widely accessible. Much of my research has focused on the ways that built and social environments (re)produce health inequities in predominantly black and brown communities. I hope to dedicate my career to working alongside these same communities to design educational initiatives that not only raise awareness about these inequities, but propose and execute evidence-based, community-informed, and sustainable interventions to actively combat them.I eventually plan to earn my doctorate in public health, with a concentration in Health Education/Communication or Health Behavior.https://healthadvocacysummit.medium.com/the-health-advocacy-summit-is-a-nonprofit-organization-that-facilitates-events-and-programs-for-df5e53f4f28f
