WHY DID YOU CHOOSE UNT Health COLLEGE OF PUBLIC HEALTH?
I chose UNTHSC College of Public Health over other institutions because of the professors and courses that are offered here. I liked how the professors are active experts in their respective fields with important publications as well as the courses that they teach are really insightful to what we will actually be doing in our own public health careers. Another thing is the software and program usage in our courses. I love that because we will be using some of them depending on where we work and it is something I wouldn’t have learned anywhere else.

HOW DO YOU PLAN ON APPLYING THE KNOWLEDGE YOU GAIN TO YOUR FUTURE CAREER?
I plan on using certain programs like R or SAS in my future field of epidemiology. These are heavily used programs in public health as well as GIS systems and will be useful for my future goal of working at the Pan American Health Organization.
