May 5, 2016
“Obtaining a master’s degree at the Gillings School has been a goal that I have worked toward diligently. My undergraduate studies gave me a solid foundation and taught me how to deliver tools to promote healthier lifestyles within a community. By earning this graduate degree, I will be able to act as a leader in improving quality and access of care for all.
Thank you for allowing me to continue my education and obtain the knowledge necessary to give back to a growing population.”

Thank you so much for your continued support! You are bringing me one step closer to my goal of conducting meaningful work that may help improve interventions and policies in the United States and abroad.”
