Undergraduate Departmental Representatives
I am a senior pursuing a B.A. in Health: Science, Society, and Policy with a minor in Sociology. Originally from the Bay Area, California, I am a transfer student from a community college. I am really passionate about maternal and infant health and health equity and hope to contribute to meaningful research in that field. I am also super passionate about making higher education accessible to all!
I love being involved with on-campus activities and am involved with Southeast Asia Club (SEAC), the Muslim Student Association (MSA), and Upward Bound. I am here to help if you have any questions regarding transferring, HSSP, student orgs, and research!
Hey there! My name is Maddie, and I am a senior from Los Angeles, California. I am pursuing a BA in HSSP and Psychology, and plan to obtain a Master's in Social Work (MSW) after I graduate. When I first started college, I was set on a clinical path, but I quickly discovered my passion for the interdisciplinary nature of HSSP. I love being able to examine public policy on a broad scale while staying grounded in community-based health efforts. In addition to being an HSSP UDR, I am the Lead UDR for the Division of Social Sciences, a Roosevelt Fellow, and an office assistant at Academic Services. I am also a Research Assistant at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management, where I contribute to various local health policy projects. My main hobbies include music, movies, and thrill-seeking— I play the drums and have ridden over 300 different roller coasters around the world! Please don't hesitate to reach out, whether you've declared your major/minor or not. I am more than happy to chat about classes, jobs, research, or life in general.
Hey everyone! My name is Nathaniel, and I’m a junior from New York City. I am pursuing a BA in Health, Science, Society, and Policy(HSSP) along with a BS in Biology. My goal is to pursue a Masters of Public Health(MPH) once I graduate from Brandeis. When I originally came to Brandeis, I thought I wanted to pursue biological research, and majored in HSSP to help contextualize the biology I have been learning. However, after only a few weeks into my first HSSP specific class, American Healthcare, I realized that I was really drawn to healthcare policy, and the proper implementation of health policies into the U.S healthcare system. In addition to working as an HSSP UDR, I also work as an Admissions Fellow, Trivia Host and am the Advocacy Co-Lead for the Partners in Health(PIH) Engage club. Outside of campus activities, I’m really passionate about bodybuilding and weightlifting in general. Whether you have questions about anything HSSP or just want to chat please feel free to reach out!
