As a first-generation immigrant to Canada, much of my childhood involved supporting my family through the strenous process of integrating into a new society. At a very young age, I began to naturally take on an advocacy role, as I was the first in my family to become fluent in the language. While this inevitably presented many challenges, it also drastically shaped my worldview. These experiences largely contributed to my passion towards topics of health equity and advocacy, as I was able to recognize first-hand the importance of adopting an intersectional approach in assessing healthcare outcomes. Throughout my professional career, I hope to contribute to the public health sector in ways that are productive to all. To achieve these goals, I hope to pursue a Master's of Public Health within the upcoming year.
