Meredith Patenaude
Master of Public Health

Future Plans: After graduation, Meredith plans to continue working as a clinical dietitian at Hartford Hospital while she applies for public health nutrition jobs in New York. Her hope is to return to the city this fall and start her career in either school or corporate wellness. She wants to use her educational experiences to apply both nutrition and public health principles to community programs, policies, or environments which aim to improve population health. While she does not currently have plans to pursue further education, she would consider completing an MBA program if a future employer required it.
Monica Pham
Master of Public Health
|
Future Plans: Monica is planning to apply for medical school this cycle. In the future, she hopes to use her MPH as a future physician to think more on a community level than just an individual level.
Monica notes, "Overall, it was a great program and it really helped me learn a lot more than I did in undergrad, specifically towards Public Health. This provided more writing skills and reading comprehension since undergrad was more test/exam based, which is different. All professors want you to succeed and will work with you."
