Undergraduate: Johns Hopkins University (2019) 

About me: Growing up in a multi-generational immigrant household, I was exposed to a broad range of ideas about the meaning of "healthcare." This sparked an interest in how health prevention and treatment manifests in different cultures, which continued to develop through my personal experiences and academically during my time as an undergraduate public health major. As I learned about international public health practices and challenges, I became more curious about what role I could take on. I'm especially interested in the financial and political shaping of healthcare, and would like to explore how international health policy interfaces with local norms and customs.
