CECE
I am eager to participate in AisB's BUILD program because it offers a unique opportunity to transform my passion for public health and social equity into actionable policy advocacy. As a pre-med student majoring in health sciences, I have gained a comprehensive understanding of the systemic barriers affecting marginalized communities, particularly concerning public health and gender inequality. However, I recognize the need to complement this academic knowledge with practical skills in civic engagement and political advocacy to drive meaningful change. I am also enthusiastic about the prospect of refining my leadership skills, expanding my civic participation, and contributing to the creation of a more inclusive and equitable society.
