University of Florida
The University of Florida International Scholars Program has allowed me to internationalize my undergraduate college experience through many aspects listed below. Explore below for a brief overview of my Global Experiences!
Study Abroad- Haiti
The UF in Haiti Program was a research-based study abroad that focused on the aspects of community-based participatory research, the intersection of public health, and cultural anthropology. Our research focused on water insecurity, water borne-illness, and cultural beliefs of vaginal illness in Gressier, Haiti

International Coursework
My international course work such as Global Public Health, Global Health Culture, Culture and Medicine, and Cultural Anthropology has taught me the importance of culture in health and health behavior. These classes have given me the opportunity to focus on culturally component health care in an international setting.
Picture about is a picture of a heartbeat followed by a globe to represent global health.
