Public health - because the simplest efforts have very powerful and tangible effects on lives. I want to help make the world a place where there is equitable access to health services regardless of race, gender and socioeconomic status. I especially believe that tailored community based efforts to educate and engage the public on any issues of health are crucial to bridging treatment gaps for many diseases and disorders. Additionally, public health practices promote the values of compassion, tolerance and multiculturalism, and it excites me to be part of a global community committed to spreading these values.

I am especially proud and happy to have volunteered for Global Brigades at the University of Toronto since the chapter's founding in 2014. And I am SO thrilled that I finally get to go on a brigade!
