Educational Background: Graduated from Washington and Lee University with a major in Neuroscience.

Philadelphia Health Corps Role: Insurance Specialist at Philadelphia Department of Public Health – Health Center 10

Why did you join AmeriCorps/National Health Corps?  I wanted to spend a year giving back to the community before starting the next stage of my education. Since I went to school in rural Virginia I also wanted to broaden my exposure to urban public health issues and gain experience that could aid me in my future career endeavors.

Where do you want to be in five years? What do you want to be doing?  I am interested in going to medical school and practicing in an underserved area.

What is your favorite part of Philadelphia?  The running trails along Kelly drive!
