MSc Public Health, Comms & Engagement Liaison

I am a Medical Doctor from Mexico City currently studying the MSc in Public Health. Prior to applying to this master, I worked as a community doctor in a rural community in the Pacific Coast of Mexico, where most of my patients were children and adolescents. For many years, my goal was to be a paediatrician. As I became more involved with public health issues, I have become more passionate about addressing the health challenges that affect our society, beginning with the root causes.

During medical school I was part of an NGO named CUS – Academic Commitment to Health focused on training health personnel on the importance of health promotion and prevention. I started leading health brigades in rural marginal communities, where we coached them about breastfeeding, nutrition, sexual health and overall hygiene. I learnt that the only way to impact a community and promote change is when critical actors join efforts. I am excited to be part of this wonderful team and looking forward to engaging in discussions about child and adolescent health.
