Monica M. is a third-year M.P.H. student aspiring to work in the disaster management sector alongside the CDC, WHO and FEMA, to help manage national crises like... COVID-19. When not in the classroom, she is an active rugby player! During her second week of classes, Monica tore her ACL, MCL, and PCL, after a teammate was tackled into her in a match. Although it was a difficult time for her, her professors were understanding and supportive throughout the healing process. Her advice for the NYMC community: Take a deep breath. Don’t be set on one thing. Be flexible for when life gets in the way. // #NYMCambassador post from Brittany M., #NYMC Graduate School of Basic Medical Sciences (GSBMS) // #NYMCSHSP #NYMCMPH #NYMCPH #publichealth #gradschool #college
