I am going to be in my fourth year of college at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and will be graduating in Spring 2024. That is where I am majoring in Health and Society and minoring in Sustainability. I have always wanted to work in the health or healthcare field so I will be a Public Health advocate when I graduate. From the Assuaged Foundation internship I want to gain more insight and take on different challenges. To hopefully develop products, technologies or open a business that will help millions of people in the near future.
