This summer has been interesting to say the least. One of the best and worst parts about it is that I am able to be at home all the time. There is no need to learn a new language or find housing, but I also have to deal with my parents and their schedule allContinue reading “Cool Summer Experience (not clickbait)”

My experiences this summer have shaped my perspective on public health within different communities around the country. My first experience centered around the pandemic affecting the farmworker communities and how we need to have better regulations to ensure they do not get this involved in the next pandemic. The interviews I conducted helped show meContinue reading “Farwell Post”

Something that I have found interesting in my summer experience is the relationship between emergency planning and the student demographic. When emergency planners consider a population, they look at the populations by demographics. This causes categories of people to be treated as one group for simplicity’s sake.

The stories I mostly hear in the media relate to the Supreme Court ruling on Roe vs. Wade.

In medicine there a very personal side, I think a lot of doctors lack, where you have to be more universally educated in the many cultures you come across andContinue reading “The many cultures of medicine”

One story that I think should be widely shared is that the US Senate is on the cusp of passing the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act or RAWA, which is a bill that would provide close to $1.4 billion a year for restoring wildlife populations across the country. I saw this story in the news afterContinue reading “A Recent Media Story and a Summary of my CapStone”

My experience this past summer is one that I will reflect on as a formative experience in my academic, personal, and professional development. The opportunity to live in another country and authentically interact with the local community is valuable in many ways. I was able to experience the milestone of moving to a new cityContinue reading “Farewell to my Experience”
