What did you do this summer?
I spent the summer at the University of Michigan School of Public Health as part of the Future Public Health Leaders Program.

Newcomb Scholars, Mortar Board, Alpha Lambda Delta, and I am also starting a new organization called GLAM, which stands for Global Health Leaders Across Multicultural Women.
