Hi, My Name is Brittany!

I am a fourth-year student at the University of Georgia majoring in Health Promotion with an emphasis in Behavioral Medicine. I am Pre-Med and my goal is to go to medical school in the next couple of years. I have volunteered and shadowed in several hospitals alongside various medical professionals. This past summer, I acquired clinical training hours in an underdeveloped neighborhood in Costa Rica. This cemented my future career goals and advanced my passion for working in public health and helping communities at large. In addition to Costa Rica, I have been to several countries in Europe, and would love to continue traveling to new places in the future.

Why Public Health?

I chose the public health route because I wanted the practical aspect of healthcare in conjunction with the scientific basis of it. Society plays just as large of a role in access, affordability, and quality of care as the knowledge needed behind it. Health promotion is looking at a person holistically and figuring out how they can improve their health from all aspects- with medication and also with lifestyle changes.
