FEATURED HUSKIES FROM THE 23RD LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT
"I am a wife, mother, public health practitioner, and future physician who is passionate about improving youth mental health and wellness. I have been fortunate to study both public health and medicine at the 蘑菇视频, which has given me the opportunity to explore my interests, ask questions, grow as an individual, and identify how I can best contribute to improving the lives of youth. As a community-oriented physician I will be able to leverage my medical expertise and public health practice to fill the gap in behavioral health services and find innovative solutions to the behavioral health challenges facing youth in my community."
"History is something that affects many aspects of our lives; it helps us understand who we are and how the systems and institutions may have helped and harmed people, so learning about my history and looking into myself was a key part of my Husky experience. This reflection strengthened my determination to honor my family鈥檚 story by serving my community and gaining an education centered around helping others through my involvement in my education and community spaces at the 蘑菇视频. I learned the importance of listening and learning about others' stories, to build trust and to make meaningful change in systems in and outside of public health, so I hope to carry the values and lessons I鈥檝e learned to serve communities with intention and care."
