I am a senior at the University of Georgia, pursuing a degree in Health Promotion while completing an accelerated Master’s in Health Policy and Management. My academic and professional experiences have fueled a strong interest in shaping and advancing health policy at the national level.
I am passionate about improving community health through evidence-based policy, strategic leadership, and systems-level solutions. My goal is to leverage my background in health promotion and policy analysis to contribute to meaningful, long-term improvements in public health and healthcare access in Washington, D.C.
Driven, curious, and eager to make an impact, I’m seeking opportunities in health policy, government affairs, and public health strategy following graduation. I’m always excited to learn, connect, and collaborate with others who share a commitment to building a healthier future.
Outside of my professional and academic pursuits, I enjoy long-distance running (I just ran my first half-marathon), baking, and spending time with friends and family.
