Virginia Tech HOPE Lab

Check out one of our lab members, Madi, as she takes over TIPH this week!

Hey all! My name is Madi and I am a second year MPH student studying Infectious Disease at Virginia Tech! I spent my undergrad years working in different aspects of public health like agriculture and food security. After graduating I spent a few years working in a hospital lab as a Medical Laboratory Scientist, but I realized I wanted to get back into working with the public directly. Now as I finish my MPH I am excited to see where the degree takes me knowing this degree will open up new doors in all kinds of different fields.

This week I'll talk about VT's specialties of One Health, Rural and Appalachian Health, and then some other perspectives of public health that you might not know about.

The first day of classes is just over a week away! Are you ready to be back? What are you most excited for this semester? Tell us in the comments below.
