During my undergraduate studies, I completed a capstone project for my secondary major in Integrated Health Studies titled "What Insurance Barriers to Alternative Care Reveal About Justice in United States Healthcare."
I'm passionate about global outreach, healthcare access, and social reform, and I look forward to exploring these topics throughout my graduate program.
When I'm not in class or working, I love spending time with friends, reading, going to concerts, cooking, drinking coffee, and traveling! I've been a K-State fan my whole life, and Manhattan truly feels like home. A fun fact about me is that I got to study abroad in Greece during my undergrad—such a great experience.
