WHY DID YOU CHOOSE UNT Health COLLEGE OF PUBLIC HEALTH?
I chose the UNTHSC College of Public Health because several of my colleagues attended and spoke very highly of their experiences, which inspired me to learn more. I also noticed that many professionals in the roles I aspire to hold are UNT graduates, which speaks volumes about the quality of education and training offered here. I’m truly excited to begin my journey at UNTHSC and build the skills to make a meaningful impact in public health.

HOW DO YOU PLAN ON APPLYING THE KNOWLEDGE YOU GAIN TO YOUR FUTURE CAREER?
I plan to use what I learn at UNTHSC to advance health equity by connecting underserved communities with the resources, education, and support they need. I want to raise awareness of the barriers they face and work toward sustainable solutions that ensure everyone has access to quality healthcare.
