Hi!  Thanks for stopping by my page.  My name is Alyssa Klozer and I am a Senior at Arizona State University. 

After several years away from school, I returned to college to finally finish my BS in Health Education and Health Promotion.  I plan to work in a Public Health setting to improve the physical, mental, and emotional health and fitness of the communities I will serve.  

Being a non-traditional student as an Active Duty Soldier, a wife, and mom of two boys, I thought I had missed out on the opportunity to study abroad in college; Not true!  I have the support of my coworkers, leaders, and family to pursue this amazing opportunity and I couldn't be happier in this moment!

This trip is an well-planned, comprehensive, University-sanctioned trip to visit various facets in the Public Health departments in Melbourne and Brisbane, meet the Australian leaders in the field, and experience a culture similar to ours yet so different.  Some of the exceptional opportunities include:  
-Royal Flying Doctor Service Hangar and Tour
-Queensland Department of Health and Human Nutrition Visit
-Indigenous Healthcare Orientation
-Victoria Department of Health and Human Services Briefing
-The Victoria Health Promotion Foundation Visit
-Discussions with Australia's leading public health experts

Along with the six credits I will earn toward my degree, I expect to gain extraordinary insight into public health, international partnership, and myself as I embark on this exciting opportunity. 

I am seeking funding to help bridge the gap between my financial aid and the program fee and also to help with my airfare expenses. 
Your support would make a world of difference in my life, the life of my family, and those I will serve as a Public Health Professional for years to come. 
Thank you for joining me on this endeavor!
