Biography
Health equity is social justice. It ensures that everyone regardless of socioeconomic factors like gender or race will have access to great and equal healthcare. I plan to prioritize a career in international health as our world has become so interconnected and that influences our individual and collective health. My Chicago roots influence most of my work and I strive to make my research accessible and understood by all people. Health equity should be accessible and understood by all.
