Proudest Moment: Being named a President's 2019 Medalist was a huge honor. A close second was conquering my claustrophobia to go caving in Budapest during Study Abroad.
emjspickard@gmail.comUW has been a place of phenomenal growth for me. As a Public Health major, I have been grateful to find myself passionate about the intersection of policy, politics and public health, thanks to the experiences I have had. Highlights include working with organizations like Real Change, the Homelessness Empowerment Project, and participating in Global Health Case Competitions with the Foster School of Business.
UW has also provided me with amazing communities. I have found mentors and friends through my work as a Tour Guide, Orientation Leader, Honors Peer Educator, Student Coordinator of Orientations, and as a performer with The Collective, UW's Improv Troupe.
It is with gratitude and excitement that I will be traveling on the Bonderman Fellowship July 2019-April 2020 to South America and Southeast Asia. Upon my return, I look forward to pursuing a career creating meaningful health and economic policy.
