Rhiannon Careri
Student | Part-time | Canada, PhilippinesPublic Health
Educational/professional background
I previously completed an Honours degree in International Development and Globalization at the University of Ottawa. During that time, I worked as a Policy Analyst for Health Canada.
Research interests or career goals
I am passionate about pursuing a career in women’s health equity and policy. My dream is to work at a research institute or in a capacity where I can influence change at the policy level.
Why I chose LSHTM/my programme
I chose LSHTM because of its renowned reputation and also the hands-on-support we get from our personal tutors. I also wanted technical and comprehensive training in statistics and epidemiology that I did not get to do in my undergraduate degree. Finally, I wanted to study in an environment where I could learn from my international peers who come from a variety of backgrounds and areas of expertise.
Extra information
I am studying part-time so I can really commit and absorb the information I learn in my classes. I also wanted to spend more time in London and balance work alongside my studies. I also study with a generalized anxiety disorder and actively manage it with support from LSHTM.
