Educational/professional background
With a bachelor's degree in Public Health Nutrition from Galway, I've developed a deep passion for understanding how nutrition impacts population health outcomes.
Research interests or career goals
The intersection of dietary patterns and disease prevention sparked my interest in pursuing advanced epidemiological methods to conduct meaningful health research.
Why I chose LSHTM/my programme
I chose LSHTM for its world-renowned expertise in epidemiology and infectious disease research. The school's collaborative approach to global health challenges and its connections with leading health organizations worldwide made it the perfect environment to expand my knowledge and research capabilities. The MSc Epidemiology programme's emphasis on both theoretical foundations and practical applications aligns perfectly with my career ambitions in public health research.
