• Awards Received/Special Achievements
  One of my major academic achievements is having the opportunity to serve as a co-author for a study that was published in the Tobacco Prevention and Cessation journal titled: An examination of social and environmental determinants of secondhand smoke exposure among non-smoking adolescents. I am very proud of this experience as this was my first opportunity to serve as a co-author on a published manuscript. I have also had the opportunity to help conduct literature reviews for various public health related topics, which was a rewarding experience as it helped to strengthen my research skills.
• Another major accomplishment was being able to work at a state health department during an ongoing pandemic. While this experience had its challenges, I was not only able to gain first-hand experience, but I was also able to help various local health districts with containment efforts.
