Why UTCOP HOD?
- I chose UTCOP HOD because the faculty, staff, and students made me feel so welcome! It's apparent that the faculty are some of the best in the field. I look forward to learning from and working collaboratively with the faculty and other graduate students in this department as I become an expert, myself, and a change maker in health outcomes.
What do you enjoy outside of school?
- Over the past year, I have fallen in love with running! I enjoy running long distances and traveling to complete races. New to the city, I am looking forward to exploring things all things Austin – outdoor activities, music festivals, and food!
