Field of Study
Malaria has a devastating impact on people in poor countries. I wanted to use my skills as a physician and researcher to try to find strategies to understand and prevent this disease.

Tropical disease researchers have the opportunity to work with colleagues from around the world. I enjoy traveling, and especially working in the developing world. I’ve had the opportunity to learn a lot about other cultures, and the chance to develop friendships with peers who come from very different backgrounds than my own.
