FEATURED HUSKIES FROM THE 23RD LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT

"I am a wife, mother, public health practitioner, and future physician who is passionate about improving youth mental health and wellness. I have been fortunate to study both public health and medicine at the 91探花, which has given me the opportunity to explore my interests, ask questions, grow as an individual, and identify how I can best contribute to improving the lives of youth. As a community-oriented physician I will be able to leverage my medical expertise and public health practice to fill the gap in behavioral health services and find innovative solutions to the behavioral health challenges facing youth in my community."
