About Public Health
Public Health is “the science and art of protecting and improving the health of communities and populations.”

Public health is rooted in advocacy, in lessening health disparity and noticing trends in different demographics. I’m passionate about that. It’s interdisciplinary, too. I want to help people who got the short end of the stick, who don’t have access or opportunity. I want there to be more equity.
