I am Polaris, The Northern Star - Follow me
Professor Star possesses a comprehensive background in public health, holding a Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration (BSHA) and a Master of Public Health (MPH). This graduate degree equips individuals for careers in public health, enabling them to advance their careers, qualify for leadership positions, and positively impact their communities.
Currently, Dr. North has completed her initial core courses for the Doctor of Health Science (DHSc) degree, which is recognized as a terminal degree—the highest attainable qualification in an academic discipline or professional field.
My journey hasn't been easy; I often doubted whether the results would lead to financial security or distress. However, I am learning that dedicating my life to learning brings great rewards, along with great responsibilities. My personal responsibility is to share this knowledge freely—educators must teach regardless of a paycheck, even if it means becoming philanthropists of education.
"Advocating for free education is a significant social and political stance. While many support this ideal, achieving it requires complex economic and policy changes." Northern Star
