Mission Statement
I pledge to use my knowledge and experience to serve others to the best of my ability. I will strive to be the person to say yes when everyone else says no.
“I really don’t think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don’t mind the failure, but I can’t imagine that I’d forgive myself if I didn’t try.”

5. Coordinating provision of health education services
Dr. Selda Koydemir hosted a virtual training session about Understanding and Coping with Imposter Syndrome. Through the training, she offered coping mechanisms. The free training was intended for professionals, but anyone could attend.
RippleMatch had a virtual career fair on non-technical jobs at several big name companies: Qualtrics, Lenovo, Amazon, and Palo Alto Networks. Each company took turns pitching their companies and talking about the available positions and internships. A piece of advice, from a Lenovo representative, that stood out to me was to not sell yourself short. She said to let them tell you ‘no’.
I completed RCR basic course in order to conduct research at Columbus State University.

1 in 4 women in America experiences stillbirth, miscarriage, or infant loss. Prenatal care is one of the effective preventative measures. Pregnancy and Infant loss can lead to a lot of shame and guilt. A few ways to cope with loss include journaling, memorials, and support groups.

8. Applying appropriate research principles and methods in health education
Gestation can place the female body in critical condition as it runs its course. Maternal mortality in black and brown women is multifactorial. Race, socioeconomic status, bias, and more all pay a role. There must be something done to protect not only black and brown women but all women. Pregnancy should not be a death sentence.
