At UC Santa Barbara, I joined and served as the treasurer of my school’s pre-optometry club, Envision, and was able to network with peers who encouraged me to work hard toward my goals.

As the coming years approach, I want my future to hold both the passion to explore new opportunities and the strength to overcome new challenges. With the experiences of my high school career, I aspire to take all the things I learned to transition into a college environment where my ideas can be challenged and shared. Where I can learn from others; where I can seek the opportunity to make a direct impact towards saving lives. I believe I can do great things. Through tenacity I will not only be gratified in becoming a doctor, but also be able to share my compassion for others through

I first realized my passion for health promotion and disease prevention the summer following my first year of college. I had the privilege of attending the Summer Health Professions Education Program (SHPEP), which introduced me to numerous healthcare professionals. During the program, many of the professionals shared their stories about why they choose the profession, and with each story, I began to reflect deeply on my own background and what drew me to medicine. It was not until an emergency medicine physician spoke about his experiences, that allowed me to fully understand connecting my background to my future. The physician mentioned growing up in D.C., which brought to mind my family in D.C. It had been almost a year since my grandmother

The chapter also caters to a diverse group of students, ranging from age, gender, race, and religious affiliation. The AMSA chapter continues to educate its members on a prolific amount of issues present in modern

During high school, I was actively involved in my local AHEC, which offered a program for high school students in the area to learn more about the health field through various camps and programs. One of the programs that I attended was at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the focus of the program was to expose first generation college students to the various allied health programs at UNC. Throughout the program professors and admission representatives from various departments gave a short presentation to the attendees, but the presentation from the Gillings School of Global Public Health was the one that resonated with me the most. That day I was introduced to a

The next association that I would like to be a member of is: SOPHE (Society for Public Health Education). Students as well as graduates can join and they have multiple chapters around the United States and participate on social media. I plan on attending meetings that are local, as well as digital webinars, summits, and signing up for their newsletter and other professional publications (Society for Public Health Education, 2015). They, too, have a career center that I will access on a regular basis until I have secured a position as a health practitioner.

Employee motivation is one of the most complex issues in every organization. Therefore, understanding what motivates people in all walks of life is fundamental to all who wish to become a member of the management team. Herzberg, distinguished Professor of Management was one of the best known of all the theorists on motivation. His ideas on motivation in the Hygiene – Motivation theory were particularly useful to help the average manager understands what motivates people. According to Herzberg’s findings, for adequate work place motivation , it is important that leadership understands the active needs of an individual employee. Herzberg was influenced by the writings of Abraham Maslow, who developed the Need- Hierarchy Theory. Maslow’s model indicated that fundamental and lower order needs like physiological and safety needs have to be satisfied in order to pursue higher-level motivators along the lines of self fulfillment (Maslow, 1943). According to Maslow’s Need Triangle, once a need is satisfied, it stops acting as a motivator and the next need one rank higher starts to motivate. The leadership, here, has to understand which need of a particular group would work as motivator during a particular period of time. An effort has been made here to establish relationship between Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs and Hygiene-Motivation theory developed by Herzberg through Maslow’s Triangle.

A few other organizations on campus I decided to join included FAMU’s chapter of the National Council of Negro Women, I used this organization as a way to relate to other women not only on my school’s campus but others in my community. I know maternal and child health is a sub-concentration of Public Health and working with other women helped this aspect of the program come into perspective for me. I also became a part of Active Minds, Inc. as a way to learn more about the way the mind functioned and help bring awareness to mental disorders that plague college campuses across the country. In the Fall semester of 2017 I was also selected to be a Nutrition L.E.A.D.S. Scholar which takes my knowledge of nutritional values and mixed it with a desire to research and service the community around me. As I took the time to research what Public Health entailed I
