What did you do this summer?
I spent the summer at the University of Michigan School of Public Health as part of the Future Public Health Leaders Program.

What are you involved in?
Newcomb Scholars, Mortar Board, Alpha Lambda Delta, and I am also starting a new organization called GLAM, which stands for Global Health Leaders Across Multicultural Women.
