Hi everyone! My name is Karina Serrano (she/her/hers), and I am a second-year Health Policy & Management MPH student on the Health Policy track. I recently graduated from the University of Houston in May 2021 with a B.S. in Public Health and a minor in Health Communications. Throughout undergrad, I was involved with a global organization called MEDLIFE that was formative in my decision to pursue public health as a career. My interest in policy stemmed from my appointment as a cancer disparities research fellow at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas. Now I can apply my passion for addressing health disparities through my consulting internship at Myers & Stauffer LC. I am delighted with my decision to attend Rollins, and I am always grateful for the support and opportunities available to students. In addition, I enjoy trying new coffee shops and exploring Atlanta during my free time!
My name is Jade del Vecchio (she/her/hers) and I am a second-year MPH student in the Health Policy and Management Department on the Policy track. I am completing a certificate in social determinants of health. I’m originally from Silver Spring, Maryland and have spent the past couple years working as an intern in the federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau in the United States Department of Health and Human Services. In my free time, I love to read horror/thriller books, cook vegetarian meals, and go on hikes (Atlanta weather permitting of course!)
