Hi, my name is Dean Bravo. I am graduating with my MPH this year upon completion of my internship here with Assuaged. I am very thankful for the opportunity Cynthia has given me here, and cannot wait to get more involved. I was born and raised in Chicago, IL, but moved to Rockford, IL to be closer to our daughter who is a medical student out here at UIC Rockford, and also to live in a quieter place. I also have a Management degree from UIC and have worked for Homeland Security for 13 years prior. I also served for a year on the Associate Board of Esperanza Health Center in Chicago, and now do volunteer work at the Winnebago County Health Dept for the vaccine rollout as I finish my Masters. I am very interested in Public Health, especially in Health Policy, which I am going to receive a certificate in as well from my school Benedictine University. Thanks for all of your support!!
