Avia DGPH Student Spotlight 2022“My research/thesis topic is, “The effects of Covid-19 vaccines on menstruation: Are women with underlying reproductive health issues more at risk of experiencing possible changes”.  Through Tuskegee’s MPH program, I was able to intern with Sepsis Alliance and bridge gaps in sepsis care, and improve equity in this area through the development of an advocacy toolkit to distribute to sepsis survivors so that they can push their legislators for improved sepsis care. 

I was also able to utilize the skills I learned through my public health courses and was hired as a clinical research coordinator recruiting and aiding patients as they overcome addiction. Avia Spotlight-DGPH

My goal is to become a genetic counselor and am currently waiting to be matched to a genetic counseling program. From there, I plan to earn my Ph.D. in Neurogenetics studying Neurodevelopment diseases. I plan to apply the Public Health experiences I’ve had in areas like public health genetics and work to bring genetic counseling to rural communities and make young adults aware of the field. Additionally, the resources the program offers helped me hone my cv and apply for genetic counseling programs and got interviews with top programs like the University of Pennsylvania.”
