Why Health Promotion?
I’ve always believed that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a healthy, fulfilling life. From a young age, I was drawn to helping others, and over time, that calling grew into a passion for community well-being and advocacy.
Public health allows me to combine that passion with purpose. It gives me the tools to address the root causes of health disparities, promote preventive care, and design programs that truly make a difference in people’s lives. Whether it’s advocating for maternal health, supporting childhood wellness, or empowering underserved communities, I’m committed to creating environments where people can thrive.
For me, public health isn’t just a career, it’s a commitment to equity, compassion, and lasting impact.
