What sparked your interest in public health?
Having studied anthropology as an undergraduate and desiring to participate in health care, public health seemed to be an area where my interests across disciplines could come together very well. Epidemiology especially caught my eye, since it brings together the biology of disease, risk factors of behavior and environment and ultimately the health outcomes of interest. The “big picture” of health appealed very strongly to me.
