Columbus State University offered a challenging academic environment that enabled me to excel in research and community health. Through the MPH program, I secured two grants to tackle food insecurity, benefiting 177 students and informing my graduate thesis. These experiences have been invaluable in preparing me for my role as the Cares Service Coordinator in the William B. Turner Servant Leadership Program.
