Meet Ashley, a Public Health student at UWM!
“I had never heard of public health as a major and I loved how it could be involved in healthcare but not heavy in the science aspect. It is a perfect mixture of health, social sciences, statistics, environmental factors, etc. that really sparked my interest. For me, one of the most prominent aspects of public health that I have learned is that it can be applied to all sorts of aspects in our daily lives. I am constantly thinking to myself 'What can be done to improve …' or 'How can changing this help these people'. I can learn how to fix one thing that can later snowball into many others and that is what I love about it. I am motivated by countless opportunities that the field presents. It has so much to offer for all types of interests and motivations.” Learn more about Public Health at UWM!
