Hello everyone and welcome to my e-portfolio! My name is Isabel and I have created this to show my growth both as a student and professionally here at IUPUI. I am currently a senior at the IUPUI Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Health Services Management degree. During my time here I have learned the different aspects of healthcare, and I look forward to applying everything I have learned during my time here after I graduate in May 2024.
Since before I started my college career I always knew that I wanted to be in the healthcare field. I wanted to help and serve people especially the vulnerable population. I just was not sure where I wanted to be whether it was in the clinical or business side of healthcare. So I started in nursing, although, I liked what I was doing I felt that it was not completely for me. I then started doing research on other careers. One day I had received an email about careers in public health and administration, and this is when my interest in health management began. I attended a panel where people with the degree in Heath Services Management talked about there careers, and I felt that this is what I wanted to do, so I changed my major. As I continued my education in this field and started my internship it only proved that this is were I wanted to be.
