Brief biography

Hello!

I am the Academic Department Associate for Public Health & Community Health Education. With a few years of administrative experience and an undergraduate degree in Public Health & Community Health, I’m a great fit for UWL.

After I complete my MPH, I plan to teach at a university or nonprofit and provide health education to adolescents and adults. Because I am interested in health communication, I use social media to share information and resources with my friends, family, and community. I try my best to be the "resource person" because it truly takes a village or community for people to become the best versions of themselves.

My office (416B Wimberly) is open during business hours for students, faculty, and staff to stop by, say hi, or ask questions.
