Public Health | Minor: Spanish; Undergraduate - Bachelor of Public Health
Certificate in Developmental Disabilities

I am currently a senior pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Public Health and a minor in Spanish. My interest in disability studies stems from my heavy involvement with Best Buddies during high school and my current employment at ArtWorks, a day program and art studio for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. After receiving my undergraduate degree I intend on either volunteering with Peace Corps or AmeriCorps to travel and provide health services to the underrepresented, preferably in the disability sector. I would then like to attend graduate school in the hopes of eventually working in the Department of Developmental Disabilities or to manage a day program for adults and seniors with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In my free time I enjoy scrapbooking, spending time with friends, and watching YouTube videos. Ultimately, I look forward to being involved in the Interprofessional Training Program and the opportunity(ies) it will provide me. Additionally, I hope that my passion for health education and administration can ultimately make a difference in the field of disability studies, particularly for adults and seniors.
