I am a recent Master of Public Health graduate from UIC, with a concentration in Community Health Sciences and a certificate in Global Health. A theme that has often emerged in my work is supporting young people - kids, middle schoolers, teenagers, and college students. My backgrounds in public health and psychology have helped me to understand that environmental factors and social determinants of health are crucial to promoting positive outcomes for them and I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish so far with PROTECT. In my free time, I enjoy running, coloring, and spending time watching comfort shows with my friends.
