Nutrition and Public health advocacy have always been at the core of my professional and personal journey. This has led me to pursue the Master in Public Health (MPH) program at UniAthena, an opportunity that aligns perfectly with my vision of integrating education and healthcare to drive transformative change.

Choosing the MPH program at UniAthena was shaped by my desire for a flexible learning experience that offers global recognition and a comprehensive curriculum. This program is a stepping stone toward deepening my expertise in disease prevention and healthcare management.

I am particularly excited to explore topics such as global health policies and epidemiology innovations. Additionally, I look forward to acquiring practical skills in healthcare management and policymaking, which are essential for implementing long-lasting changes in public health.

Upon completing my MPH, I aim to advocate for nutrition health policies that improve healthcare accessibility, and collaborate with international organizations to develop public health programs that focus on disease prevention awareness and community well-being. 

Balancing studies, work, and personal life is challenging, but I have managed to do so through strong time management, discipline, and prioritization. Structured schedules and dedicated study hours ensure that I stay on track while also making time for self-care to prevent burnout. My support system, comprising family and professional networks, plays a crucial role in keeping me motivated and focused.

One of the most challenging goals I have accomplished was establishing a non-governmental organization (NGO) to support underprivileged students. Despite financial and logistical hurdles, I successfully organized mentorship programs, scholarships, and educational workshops. This taught me the value of resilience, strategic planning, and collaboration.

The qualities that have driven my success include resilience, adaptability, discipline, empathy, and leadership. A continuous learning mindset and the willingness to collaborate will also go a long way.

I recommend ‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey' as a must-read. This book offers invaluable insights into leadership, productivity, and personal growth, shaping a proactive mindset essential for success.

Ultimately, my dream job is to be a Public Health Educator and Food Specialist, leading my own wellness centre. I am motivated by the prospect of making a real difference in people’s lives through education, health nutrition, and public health initiatives.

My advice to aspiring professionals is to stay curious, develop a strong work ethic, build meaningful networks, embrace challenges, and remain purpose-driven.
