  summary: 'I recently graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with my Master of Public Health (MPH) degree in the Environmental Health Sciences track. I’ve taken several applied epidemiology courses, including environmental and cancer epidemiology, as well as courses that have allowed me to build additional competency in quantitative data analysis and statistical software utilization (SAS), including biostatistics, environmental risk assessment, and my own final capstone project, which has notably been accepted for poster presentation at the 2026 American Public Health Association’s (APHA) Annual Meeting and Expo. This public health education has reinforced both my interest in research and appreciation for the population health perspective that epidemiologists employ to solve public health problems. Thus, I intend to further my education through an epidemiology doctoral program in the future, and I’m eager to continue expanding my public health knowledge and building new skills, especially as they relate to epidemiologic research methods, in the meantime. Participating in this data jamboree will, therefore, provide me with meaningful practical experience working with real-world data while likely also improving my awareness of the various data sources available to be analyzed and used to inform public health decision-making.
