Proudest Moment: Any moment when I stepped outside of my comfort zone, in terms of academic and experiential learning opportunities.
I am deeply committed to the idea that health is a human right, and plan to use the tools that my department and the honors program taught me to inform how I conduct public health work.
During my time at UW, I have been involved in undergraduate research and service learning with local and state organizations. Additionally, I participated in the Honors Netherlands Study Abroad, where I explored innovation in the cultural heritage sector and it's intersection with public health work. On campus, I was an active member of GlobeMed, a nationwide nonprofit dedicated to supporting grassroots global health work. I am also involved in the local Albanian-American community here in the Greater Seattle area.
