I recently graduated from graduate school with a masters degree in public health. Last year I did a global health internship in Timor-Leste, and after completion travelled around Southeast Asia with my two best friends. Now that I have completed my masters degree, my two best friends and I have decided to travel through Europe

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I completed a ten week internship in Timor-Leste. During my internship, I assisted in a country wide maternal health research study, with an objective to better understand why women decide to give birth at home versus at health facilities.

During college I collaborated with researchers at the University of Turin, Italy to explore the relationship between parenting behaviors and children's eating habits.
