<i>Future Career Goals</i>: I am currently in the process of getting my birther support practitioner certification and aspire to provide advocacy and support in obstetrics and gynecology. Long term, my goal is to attend an MPH/PhD dual degree program with a discipline in either sociomedical sciences or epidemiology. Because I am also quite passionate about the arts and double majoring in drama, I am currently looking for a career that would combine both of my interests!
<i>Top Three Study Abroad Goals</i>: While abroad, I plan to explore the unique wildlife and nature that can't be found anywhere else! I also look forward to learning more about the beautiful Mฤori culture that NZ is home to and involving myself in in local communities to get to know new people and build new friendships!
