A junior from Franklin, Mass, I'm majoring in Public Health and enrolled in a 5 year joint program to get my masters. My program in Thailand focuses on learning about different Southeast Asian health systems and developing a community health project related to Thailand's key health issues. At GW I am a part of DC's oldest sketch/improv group, receSs, and I nanny after class for two of the coolest cats on capitol hill.
This semester I'm going to take every opportunity to explore my surroundings as I've explored DC and learn how Thailand pulls off an effective universal health care system. Riding elephants, jungle excursions, and visiting every wat and incredible site in the southeast region are all part of the plan. I am also going to explore the Thai diet and overcome my aversion for all food beyond pizza, mac and cheese, and waffles...
