I am a second, going on third year here at the University of Arizona. Currently working toward my bachelor degree in public health with a minor in psychology. From here I am excited to move forward into law school to focus on creating policy change here in the state of Arizona to directly combat systemic inequity perpetuating health disparities that we have learned in depth about this summer. I worked alongside an amazing team within fentanyl awareness, under the mentorship of Dr. Allison Huff and discovered a passion for expanding education and fighting health inequity. I have worked first-hand with communities facing disparities and have absorbed great knowledge from my team and supporters and I cannot wait to use my gained passion to move forward into my career.

⊲ PROJECT

S.A.F.E. Study for Fentanyl Awareness

This project is the result of a summer’s worth of research, originally surrounding pain relief and impulsivity, now surrounding fentanyl awareness. The summer consisted of teamwork in preparation of our study protocols now awaiting approval of the IRB. This project demonstrates the newly earned experiences as well as connections over these past ten weeks, as well as foreground to future plans for myself and my academic journey.
