Undergraduate Departmental Representatives
I am a junior pursuing a B.S. 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 on the executive board for several clubs, including Femmes of Color Association (FOCA), Southeast Asian Club (SEAC), and Carceral Awareness, Reform, & Education (CARE). I am here to help if you have any questions regarding transferring, HSSP, clubs, and research!
Hey there! My name is Maddie, and I am a Junior from Los Angeles, California. Here at Brandeis, I am pursuing a BA in HSSP and Psychology, and I aspire to obtain a Master's Degree in Social Work (MSW) after I graduate. When I entered college, I initially thought I wanted to follow a clinical path. However, I fell in love with the HSSP department due to its emphasis on multidisciplinary learning. I enjoy examining public policy on a large scale while also working to improve public health on a local level. In addition to my role as a UDR, I work as an Office Assistant at Academic Services, where I collaborate closely with Advisors and thoroughly enjoy helping students strategically plan their class schedules. I am also a Research Assistant at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management, where I contribute to a variety of projects and ensure data is managed accurately and effectively. Additionally, I am passionate about music, movies, and thrill-seeking— I play the drums and have ridden over 250 different roller coasters across the United States! Please don't hesitate to reach out, no matter if you've declared your major/minor or not. I am more than happy to chat about classes, jobs, research, or life in general, whether in person, via email, or Zoom.
Hi everyone, my name is Eva, and I am a senior from Milford, Massachusetts. I am pursuing the Bachelor of Science track in HSSP, also double minoring in Business and Psychology. The past three years as an HSSP student have been uniquely gratifying for me, as I have learned about public health and policy through the lens of biology, sociology, psychology, epidemiology, and more. My favorite healthcare topics include the way the U.S. provisions insurance coverage, hospital administration, rising costs, value-based pricing, and quality measures of care. I have also taken interest in the idea of healthcare as a business entity and hope to learn more about this intersection through graduate studies. On campus, I am a captain of the varsity swim team, a coordinator for the Brandeis Buddies volunteer group, an Admissions Fellow, and a Teaching Assistant for SOC83- Sociology of the Body and Health. If you have any questions that I might be able to answer major related or not, I am happy to help!
