What led you to choose your area of study? I have been interested in Public Health and Healthcare Administration since I was in middle school. I always saw myself in the field and knew that it was the path for me from a young age. As I've studied and gained experience over the years, I have come to appreciate the professional variety that the Public Health and Healthcare Administration fields have to offer. There are so many options and the field continues to grow and expand.

What is one fun fact about yourself? I participate in bodybuilding competitions.
