I’ve worked for many years in the creative field, but I always had a keen interest in health and disease prevention, so five years ago I started an academic journey to gain knowledge in this field, which resulted in a BS in Health Science and led me to join UniAthena. I come from a family of professionals in different fields, so we cherish the opportunity to converse about our daily endeavours. They have been very supportive of my learning and professional journey, and I really appreciate that.

I was looking for a Master in Public Health that was both affordable and flexible so that I could balance it well with my daily life commitments. UniAthena offers both qualities, and on top of that, it provides a high quality education with a final certification accredited by a state-recognized institution. This will help me have a solid foundation to break into the public health field.

I will eventually look forward to getting a PhD in public health; for the time being, I'm focusing on mastering what this course has to offer while also honing the hard skills (programming languages) used in the field. I would like to keep the possibilities open for both an analytical career and one in management, according to what the market requires.

A great teacher is one who has the ability to convey difficult notions in ways that are easy to understand and instil confidence in the student. I believe in my teachers, and I feel very confident when they also believe in my abilities.

My dream job is in the epidemiology field because I care about public health and I enjoy working with data.

Usually, problems always seem very complicated at first, so the first thing I do is take the necessary steps to fully understand the issue and identify the root of the problem.

When I moved abroad for a job opportunity, I felt overwhelmed with having to deal with many things at once in an unfamiliar environment, everything felt so new and different. I've tackled this issue with thorough research and meticulous organisation. These methods stuck with me; to this day, when I’m faced with a big challenge, I tend to split it up into smaller tasks that are easier to handle.

I would like to be more spontaneous in social interactions, as I do well in social contexts, but it requires a good deal of preparation (such as when pitching to clients), whereas for some people it seems to be a more natural process.

The last book I read was "The Thirty-Nine Steps," an adventure novel by John Buchan that narrates the adventures of Richard Hannay just before the onset of World War I. The last movie I saw was "The Internship," a light-hearted comedy with an inspiring message - you're never too old to have a career change.

I used to think that it would have been too complicated to study with good grades while also working and parenting. However, I soon discovered that with solid commitment and determination, everything can be done successfully. Today, I'm very proud of the results I've received, and they keep me motivated to improve further.
