Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ

I AM A LOOKING TO GO

Maria Rodriguez

My name is Maria, I am a rising third year at NSU KPCOM, in the sunshine state. I graduated from the University of Florida, where I first got involved with Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ serving as the emergency medicine committee co-director. In medical school, I got involved as Stranahan chair and became secretary for the chapter. With Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ, we worked with underserved agricultural communities at the student-led health fair and with nearby local high schools providing them unique opportunities. These experiences, along with becoming an Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ public health scholar, have solidified my passion for public health, where I realized there is so much more that needs to be done. On my free time I like to play soccer and hang out with my energetic nephew. I am hoping to pursue a future career as an emergency medicine physician and create change at the community level.
