He witnessed many different factors and cultures that all come together to shape health and recognizes the importance of the field, particularly with the rise of COVID-19 into daily life. He is particularly interested in the relationship between HIV and other viruses such as COVID-19 on public health both globally and domestically. With his undergraduate degree, he also recognizes the unique relationship between global health and international affairs and the importance of both to foster public health globally. He enjoys spending time outdoors and exploring new restaurants in his free time.
