My mission statement is to continue to work towards a better future by using the skills I have acquired in both school and my personal life. Being a first generation student I can serve as an example to others who have gone through a similar journey and are looking to help their community. I believe that in order to make big changes around you, you must start with smaller change and build on the momentum you gain.

My top three areas of interest in public health are: food safety, sustainability, and environmental health. I am interested in these areas because they can affect anyone regardless of their current environment.

I plan to contribute to the public health field by working hard to make a positive impact in my community. Whether it be in my career path or through volunteer work, I will always be passionate about pouring into those around me.
