My Travel Story

Public health has always been my passion, understanding how communities stay healthy, what resources they need, and how cultural differences shape people’s access to care. I’ve spent years learning about health systems here in the U.S., but now I have the incredible chance to study abroad and gain a global perspective that will help me make a real difference back home.
By studying in Spain, I’ll be able to see firsthand how another country approaches healthcare, prevention, and wellness. Learning about their public health strategies, from community programs to cultural attitudes toward health, will help me bring new, culturally aware ideas back to the U.S. This experience will shape the kind of health advocate and leader I hope to become.

Your support would mean the world to me. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings me closer to this goal and helps me grow as a student and future public health professional. Thank you so much for believing in me and in the power of education to build healthier, more connected communities.
