Position Title: 

Ending the Epidemic Coordinator

Where are you from?

I’ve been raised in Flower Mound, which is a town near Dallas, Texas, for most of my life. I’m excited to be a Californian for this upcoming year!

Why did you decide to join NHC?

I wanted to see how public health and community health intersect, and how I can incorporate strategies from both into my own care and insights as an aspiring physician. I also wanted to continue engaging in health equity and learn more about a field I’m interested in, which is reproductive and sexual health care.

What are you hoping to gain or learn during your service term?

I hope to develop my ability to work with diverse patient bases, while forming meaningful connections with local organizations. I believe that there’s such an amazing wealth of perspective to be found working in a community setting, and I look forward to learning the unique story of each patient I meet.

What are you most looking forward to during your service term?

I look forward to understanding the needs of urban healthcare, as well as connecting with my cohort! I am excited to make some new friends and explore the vibrant city of San Francisco.
