Living and learning in NYC means being surrounded by diverse cultures every day, while studying abroad in Nepal provided me with the opportunity to witness global public health in action. Through these experiences, I’ve learned the importance of flexibility and adaptability in improving healthcare. There isn’t always an immediate cure or quick solution in public health, but every step forward, whether big or small, can make a meaningful difference in the lives of communities. With opportunities offered in virtual, in-person, and hybrid formats, it’s possible to keep exploring different areas of public health even while managing a busy schedule.
