Educational/professional background
Hi, I'm Tyler and I'm studying Epidemiology (MSc) at LSHTM. I received a BS in Psychology and a BA in Behavioral Healthcare from the University of South Florida in 2019. After graduation, I began working at UCLA as a research associate and coordinator for projects including substance use, depression, and early childhood development.
Research interests or career goals
My goals are to continue my research in academia for a global institution, particularly research in the field of neurological disease, environmental epidemiology, and mental health.
Why I chose LSHTM/my programme
I chose LSHTM to study Epidemiology as I wanted to gain practical analytical skills in applied research settings in public health and how to better integrate research methodology in vulnerable communities across the world, something the university specializes in. LSHTM's reputation in international research inspired me as well.
Extra information
Having taken a few years between my undergrad and grad school to work in research positions, I'm happy to answer questions you may have about potentially studying at LSHTM, particularly about re-entering education after a break as well as adjusting to life on a different continent.
