INFORMATION FOR

My time at YIGH provided me with a better understanding of the funding landscape for global health practice and research in the academic setting and set a foundation for future work in new roles! I will always be grateful to Dr. Kristina Talbert-Slagle for her mentorship, direction, and many laughs.
