My name is Leigh Hepworth and I am a current undergraduate student at UNC. Double majoring in Women's and Gender Studies and Biology has deeply motivated me to fight for women's autonomy in their health decisions and has inspired my passion for working with women in underpriviledged communities. I am excited to share that I have been accepted into an internship program in Arusha, Tanzania to work as a women's health advocate and support Maasai women. I am greatly looking forward to working under the guidance of local experts to advocate for FGM (female genital mutilation) awareness, support young women with relationship issues, and assist with medical and healthcare education. I also aim to write an honors thesis my senior year related to this important topic and use my experiences in Arusha to fuel my research.
