Undergraduate: Hamilton College (2019)

About me: I immigrated from Ghana when I was young and for as long as I can remember, my family told me time and time again about the poor healthcare system back home. It wasn't until 2017, during an internship in Ho, Ghana that I was able to clearly see for myself what I had been told all my life. From that experience I knew I wanted to do something to help. I am particularly interested in neonatal health and working to improve health outcomes in Ghana and similar countries. I look forward to learning how to work towards this goal with my classmates during my time in the pathway!
