EP115 Student Ambassadors: The NYU GPH Journey 08/29/2022

EP115 Student Ambassadors: The NYU GPH Journey In this episode, we chat with NYU GPH students from a variety of specialties. We learn about each individual's GPH journey and what it means to be a GPH student after one year into the program. This is an episode that goes deep into the mindset and motivations behind a true NYU GPH student. All our guests share their individual paths before coming to GPH alongside how NYU GPH has impacted their journey so far. They give us a glimpse into their future goals and dreams in the world of Public Health. Guests: Corrinne Tendo is a 2nd-year full-time online student in Global Health concentration. Relocating from the USA to Canada, the online MPH program has allowed Corrinne to pursue her degree at a world-class university with experienced faculty in different research fields. During Corrinne’s first year at NYU, she has completed most of the required courses in addition to electives such as Writing Grants and Funding and Public Health Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Her interests are advocating, developing, and implementing policies that will help strengthen health care systems in vulnerable populations and Lower- and Middle-Income Countries. Although online, Corrinne has been able to participate in different programs at GPH. She is one of the co-directors of the Applied Global Public Health Initiative Lab (AGPHI) for the upcoming school year. She also is the Team Lead for a project focused on developing surveillance and control recommendations for a Neglected Tropical Disease known as Mycetoma in Ethiopia. In addition, as a member of the Climate-Related Displacement Team, Corrinne is working on developing a study protocol to analyze the climate-related challenges of food security and migration experienced by vulnerable populations in southern Madagascar. Mehak Paul is a General Physician (M.B.B.S.) from India and has just completed her first year of MPH with a concentration in Public Health Policy & Management at the School of Global Public Health, NYU. She was elected and recently re-elected as the Graduate Events Officer for GPH's Student Governing Council through which she organized many fun events like the Halloween Haunted House GPH Tour, Women's Day Book Exchange, Mental Health Wellness Workshop and the GPH's Public Health Week. During her first year of MPH, Mehak took Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Global Environmental Health, Public Health Policy and Value-based healthcare. Her objective is to move the healthcare system towards a more value-based and patient-centered delivery system. As part of her internship, she is working at NYC Health+ Hospitals/Elmhurst with CEO Pierre Pham and helping the Department of Patient Experience launch their 'Care Partner Program' to improve patient experience as well as the hospital's global standing. Rebecca Yu is a Master’s student in the Biostatistics Department concentrating in Data Science at NYU School of Global Public Health. She has taken classes in Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Machine Learning, Linear Regression, and Statistical Programming in R. She has worked on projects that utilize deep learning techniques that identify melanoma lesion images from non-cancerous lesions, multivariate regression models to predict breast cancer remission odds by race, and linear regression models of lung cancer prevalence by the countries with the highest and lowest fine particulate matter. Rebecca graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor’s in Biology where she studied regenerative medicine under Dr. Chang-Hun Lee and had developed a passion for the opposing mechanism of controlled cell proliferation in cancer research. After graduating, she was a researcher in a pancreatic cancer clinical trial under Dr. Vinod Balachandran at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. When the pandemic hit, Rebecca was inspired to enter public health after being moved by the disparities emphasized by COVID-19 treatment. Currently, Rebecca is a researcher in the NIH “All of Us” project under Dr. Farzana Kapadia in understanding cancer disparities over time. In this initiative, Rebecca quantitatively isolates racial disparities in access to cancer screening which can, in turn, be used to provide information to develop interventions that promote timely cancer screening, testing and treatment. She is also the Graduate President of the Student Governing Council where she fosters a sense of community, promotes leadership, and professional development opportunities in public health.

Tune in to learn more about their fascinating experiences and soak in all their tips and tricks to navigating life at NYU. Guests: Zhihao (Edward) Chen graduated with his Bachelor of Science with a concentration in Computational Biology in 2021. He is currently a Master of Science student in the NYU GPH Biostatistics department. As part of the Tobacco Research Lab, Zhihao’s research focuses on the application of Bayesian Network on Causal Inference, specifically on the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) dataset in the United States. In the past, he has worked as contributor on the r02pro coding textbook for the R language, and helped revise the new version of the book for teaching purposes. Nina Abukahok completed her first year of my MPH at NYU with a concentration in Epidemiology. Nina moved to New York from Florida, where she completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Central Florida and worked as a medical assistant in a level I trauma center emergency department. Nina’s career goal as a future epidemiologist is to work in mental health and substance abuse research. Nina's current internship focuses on substance abuse prevention in the Bronx. She is also the co-president of the EPIC club at NYU. Natalie Pinder is an international student from Australia currently pursuing her Master’s in Public Health with a concentration in Epidemiology. She originally moved to the United States for her undergraduate degree where she also played field hockey. Throughout her time in America, Natalie has visited 10 different States, and is hoping to hit 15 by the time she returns to Australia. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Natalie became intrigued by the interconnectedness of public health and clinical medicine, which ultimately inspired her to pursue an MPH. In her first year as a Master’s student here at NYU, Natalie completed courses encompassing biostatistics and regression analysis, epidemiological methods and analysis, global environmental health, law, & policy, and epidemiologic research methods. Natalie is also very passionate about living a life of service to others, and has been involved in volunteer roles through field hockey, and Meals on Wheels, and also worked as a Patient Care Assistant in a hospital during one peak of the pandemic. Currently, Natalie is involved in a research project under Dr. PhuongThao Le of NYU, where she is working to develop a native mobile app that will provide psychological support to cancer patients and caregivers in Viet Nam. Ultimately, Natalie aims to combine her experiences and knowledge of public health from her Master’s degree with her future career as a physician.
