"When applying to medical school, I focused on MD/MPH programs because my passion for medicine has its roots in public health. I now have a health systems knowledge base with which to care for individual patients as well as their larger communities."

“Through a lens of social justice and cultural humility, I am committed to using my personal and professional experiences to advocate for policies and interventions that prioritize equitable access to healthcare, especially for minoritized communities.”

“The field of public health is incredibly dynamic and Tufts offers a variety of courses that may be outside your comfort zone. I found that venturing into unfamiliar territory was invaluable.”

"I hope to use my clinical skills to keep my animal patients healthy and my public health skills to educate owners on disease prevalence and prevention."
