Hi guys! My name is Ashley, and I am currently a Master of Public Health student here at USC in the Global Health concentration. I graduated in May 2025 with my B.S. in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention at USC (Double Trojan! Fight On!). In public health, I am passionate about advocating for children’s health and health literacy. Not only within the U.S., but I believe that children from all around the world deserve to receive the best quality of care, and I am committed to improving health literacy in underrepresented populations, starting from youth. Please don’t hesitate to reach out for any questions or concerns!

I am a second-year MPH student concentrating in Health Services and Policy with aspirations to become an OBGYN. My interest in public health centers on understanding how healthcare systems and policies shape patient care, particularly in reproductive and maternal health. Last summer, I completed an internship in partnership with the CDC focused on group prenatal care, where I examined its role in reducing clinician bias and fostering empathy in maternal healthcare settings, and I presented this work at an international conference. I have also conducted research with City of Hope examining postpartum depression in the African American community. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to health equity, advocacy, and providing compassionate, patientcentered care informed by both clinical practice and policy. As a proud member of the Trojan Family, I am excited to give back to the MPH community and support prospective and incoming students throughout their public health journey!

I am a second-year Master of Public Health student in the Biostatistics and Epidemiology concentration with experience in clinical care, research, and community engagement. I have worked as a dental assistant, served as a research assistant at UCLA studying hormonal fluctuations on women’s health, and currently work as a disaster care manager. I am passionate about advancing oral health as a critical component of chronic disease prevention and promoting health literacy in underrepresented communities.

I am a second-year Master of Public Health student with a concentration in global health. I earned my B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Public Health from the University of California, Irvine, where I continue to work as an Assistant Project Specialist on survivorship research with the Center for Young Adult Cancer Survivorship Research. I also serve as a fellow with the Randall Lewis Health & Policy Fellowship and as the Director of Public Health at Kindness Kits, where I lead health-focused digital content and community outreach initiatives. I am passionate about improving healthcare access and outcomes through research, community-based interventions, and patient-centered care.
