I decided to get involved with Graduate Students for Public Health (GSPH) because I found it to be the best way to interact with people in my field, especially since all my classes were remote.

Eventually in life, I would like to become a medical doctor. As much as I love collaborating with others to prevent on diseases or illnesses and educate the public about health, I would also love to be able to听treat people that were not reached by public health personnel or still had the disease even though they were reached.听
