About me: As an undergraduate, I was heavily involved with my community’s refugee population as well as several global health efforts on campus and professionally, including an internship with the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative in Geneva. I majored in economics and minored in sociology, with a goal of using this background in a career focused on reducing inequity. After finishing this degree, I did my MSc in Global Health Policy at LSE, where I had the chance to delve into many issues of equity and global health with an economic perspective. I am passionate about women’s health and want to help maximize health outcomes and equity in a cost-effective and compassionate manner in the US and abroad. My favorite parts of the pathway are the abundant opportunities to learn from professionals working in global health, and the ability to connect with peers who have similar interests.
