Sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences at Georgetown University, majoring in Biology of Global Health with a minor in Music.
Hey y'all! I'm a Sophomore (2nd year) in the Global Health program at Georgetown University. My interests lie in the intersection of global public health and foreign policy, with my summer research focusing on the impact of climate on Shigellosis case rates in Texas. I plan to continue my research abroad for my Leadership in Action summer, and I'd love to discuss and coordinate plans with fellow Scholars!
