Pronouns: she/her

Position Title: Health Educator - Wilson/Senn High School

Where are you from? Rockford, IL

Why did you decide to join NHC?

I decided to join NHC because I wanted a chance to put my public health knowledge to practice before I get my MPH! I am deeply passionate about the intersection of education, research, and healthcare and I believe that getting hands-on experience will allow me to expand on my praxis and ultimately prepare me to become a more informed public health professional.

What are you hoping to gain or learn during your service term?

I hope to gain the valuable experience serving patients of Tapestry 360 as well as the students of Senn High School. I also hope to build deeper connections within my community and my colleagues!

What are you most looking forward to during your service term?

I'm excited to meet new people in my field and to work in new environments!
