What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to apply my public health knowledge and analytical skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on community health initiatives and virus surveillance.

I am a dedicated Public Health graduate with a strong academic foundation and a passion for improving community health through effective virus surveillance. With over three years of volunteer experience and a current internship in infection prevention, I have honed my analytical skills and developed a robust understanding of epidemiology.

My commitment to public health was recognized when I was awarded the 2022-2023 State of the District Volunteer of the Year for my exceptional classroom support initiatives. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with educators to implement innovative teaching strategies that enhance student engagement and learning outcomes.

Currently, I am pursuing a Doctor of Public Health degree while maintaining a high GPA, which reflects my dedication to academic excellence. I am eager to apply my knowledge and skills in a professional setting, focusing on respiratory virus surveillance to ensure community health and safety.
