Nayelyi SalazarEducation: Public Health, Pre-Med Emphasis and Spanish Minor I chose SSHA because I was presented with the opportunity to bridge the gap between two areas I am passionate about, which are public health and medicine. I am fortunate to have a major under SSHA allowing me to pursue both. Additionally, as a Peer Navigator, I have come to appreciate what SSHA does for all their students; it does not go unnoticed! Something I enjoy doing is listening to old songs. Lately, I have been drawn back to the nostalgia of each song and what they mean to me at this time in my life. |
