"Entering a public health school during the COVID-19 pandemic is perplexing, but COVID-19 has encouraged people everywhere to acknowledge the complex ways in which public health is incorporated into our everyday lives. Analyzing the social factors and current environments that contribute to health inequities and acting in ways to reduce those inequities are pertinent skills of public health professionals, and Rollins School of Public Health is equipping me with the knowledge and tools to do so."
