I am a second-year Master of Public Health (MPH) student at the University of Illinois at Chicago studying Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Epidemiology. This summer I will be a Title V MCH Intern at the Minnesota Department of Health. I will be working under a Senior Research Scientist/Epidemiologist preparing data for Minnesota's Title V Grant Application. I am excited to utilize skills I have learned in graduate courses during the internship. I hope to improve my data analysis skills using SAS.
After graduating in May 2019, I hope to work as an epidemiologist in a state or local health department. Ideally, I will be working with data related to maternal & child health or nutrition & chronic diseases. It is important that I use data to advocate for health equity.
