Navigating the higher education system as a first-generation and immigrant student has been a challenge that continues to impact me. With the skills and values, I have gained as a UW student I hope to join the public health workforce to promote healthcare equity, quality, and accessibility. Monserrat Morales Miranda, MPH: Department of Health Systems and Population Health All that I am or hope to be, I owe to the single mother that raised me. I am an emerging global health leader, epidemiologist, yogi, and activist committed to equitable partnerships on the African continent. We uplift each other and recognize our own personal power-despite what systems of oppression may tell us. Here, I am supported by a community of change-makers with marginalized identities. I hope to help advance healthcare grounded on dismantling structural inequality, redistributing power, and improving the health of patient populations.Īt the UW I learned to re-envision the margins as places empowered by transformative resistance. My husky experience helped me integrate the knowledge and skills I’ve acquired, approach service-learning through a critical lens, focus on social change, and form authentic relationships with communities. Gabriela Claravall, B.S.: Public Health-Global Health B.A.: Medical Anthropology and Global Health B.S.: Anthropology of GlobalizationĪs a proud daughter of Filipino immigrants and an aspiring physician, I look forward to advocating and serving underrepresented communities. I believe all communities have the right to clean air, water, and food regardless of social class, race, religion, or nationality. As a first-generation graduate student, I honor my family, community, and mentors by prioritizing research that focuses on eliminating environmental hazards to reduce the vulnerability of populations characterized by deep disparities in health and socioeconomic status. I am a proud son of an Oaxacan father and a Coliman mother. Yoni Rodriguez, MS, Occupational Hygiene, in the Department of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences
I hope to bridge the gap between the two disciplines and thereby bridge the gap between the have and the have-nots. The science of medicine inspires me because it can enact social welfare. My time as a Husky has enabled me to take small-scale solutions and use my imagination to extrapolate the way in which they can be applied globally for broader change. These students actively connect what happens inside and outside of the classroom and apply what they learn to make a difference on campus, in their communities and for the future.Ī huge congratulations to our student public health leaders!Īarti Tandon, B.A.: Food Systems, Nutrition, and HealthĪs an aspiring physician and public health advocate, my UW experiences have ignited my passion to empower people to reach the help they need. These students are studying for doctorates, master’s, or undergraduate degrees, including majors and minors within SPH fields.Įach year, the Husky 100 recognizes 100 undergraduate and graduate students from the UW Bothell, Seattle and Tacoma campuses in all areas of study.
