Plans after school: After I graduate, I hope to dive right into the field of public health, specifically in the domain of Health Education and primary prevention. Currently, I work as a health facilitator for a randomized study intervention for at-risk adolescents in Yonkers, NY.

Personal Statement about APHA-SA: Joining APHA-SA has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. APHA-SA membership has opened up and continues to offer a wealth of opportunities, important news and information, and invaluable networking connections that I would not have encountered otherwise. I believe that joining APHA-SA and becoming a leader of one the committees has positively influenced my professional growth. I encourage each of you to take advantage of APHA-SA and to discover your potential by becoming an active member and joining any one of our committees.
