Education Holistic Community Health with a Minor in Integrative Therapeutic Practices Fall 2013 - Fall 2017 Current GPA: 3.5
Holistic Community Health is a degree that I designed. It's a combination of
Biological Sciences, Human Services and Non-profit Studies, while also incorporating Alternative Healthcare, and Nutrition into a platform that is geared towards working with culturally and socio-economically diverse communities. Current, relevant courses include Cultural Diversity, Health & Illness, Researching and Writing Grant Proposals, Lifestyle Medicine, and Multi-Level Wellness. I have taken a variety of courses that have helped me to broaden my knowledge of health-related issues across a diverse spectrum of individual, and culturally related paradigms.
