For much of my life, my interests have been divided between climatology, animal welfare, and medicine, and I felt imminent pressure to pick just one discipline as the object of my career. Despite this, I always knew that choosing only one of these fields would leave me exceptionally unsatisfied. At NC State, I was exposed to the idea of One Health, which is a public health approach that emphasizes the connection between the health of humans, animals, and the environment. After realizing that one can study the integral role that climate science plays on public health, I chose to enroll in the Masters of Climate Change and Society. The interdisciplinary nature of the CCS program allured me for its blend of climatology, public policy, and communications courses. Currently, I am completing the CCS program in an accelerated fashion, as I am taking masters courses while finishing my bachelor’s of statistics and completing pre-medical course requirements. Upon graduation from the CCS program, I plan to pursue an MD/PhD in environmental epidemiology, and later in my career, I hope to influence animal law. It is my goal to see that the well-being of all living things is attended to, and I am excited to learn more about the role that climate change plays on human, animal, and ecosystem health.
