How did the NDSU MPH prepare you for the workforce?
My experience at NDSU MPH prepared me by giving me the opportunities to study how infectious diseases spread and strategies to help prevent disease outbreaks and promote health for the community and the world.

I hope to help North Dakota to support health equity for everyone and protect them from diseases. I hope to achieve this goal beyond North Dakota and the Midwest region too.
