Going through school at Oakland University really taught me the importance of perseverance toward achieving my goals. I loved learning with different faculty members and students from different walks of life.

One of the key things that caught my eye about Oakland University is that it’s close to home and it’s right in my backyard and with the School of Health Sciences here, it just allows you to have an awesome opportunity to go into a lot of different professions to help people and I’ve known that’s what I wanted to do so that’s what really drew me to this school in itself. It’s going to allow me to display my passion.

Since graduating from the School of Health Sciences, I was accepted into the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine, where I know I was prepared very well. I had a strong foundation of clinical knowledge that put me at an advantage compared to my classmates.

During my undergraduate degree, I took an Intro to Community Health class. The professor that taught this class was so passionate about the topic and each topic spoke to me and one day I had this aha moment and I knew this is what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

Coming to Oakland University, the School of Health Sciences, really set me up and prepared me with the skill set and the knowledge that I needed to be successful in my career.

Built upon the foundations of the natural and behavioral sciences, Oakland University School of Health Sciences transforms students into leaders, connects theory to best practices, and impacts needs of communities.

In purpose, for Health.
