Connie Lafuente, current MPH student, was recently featured in the Journal of Public Health Management and Practice:
” Growing up in Bolivia, I witnessed the devastation that diseases cause on individuals and family members, especially among people who are trapped in poverty. I witnessed the hardships of food insecurity, lack of access to health care, lack of knowledge on disease prevention, social injustice, and poverty. I decided then that my personal mission would be to provide preventative education services to vulnerable communities to improve their overall quality of life and reduce health disparities.”
