Class of 2027, Student Ambassador

I am a sophomore pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Public Health with a minor in Healthcare and Society. I have been interested in undertaking a larger outlook on the health network for quite a bit now. I began my career path focusing on graduating undergrad and attending medical school. However, instead of becoming a routine physician, I wanted a broader perspective with a focus on helping underserved communities. I wanted to be able to understand how fundamental factors affect the health and safety of people all over the world. Studying public health allows me to focus on understanding the global health effects that are present in many developing countries, even my own.

I was privileged to have a sustainable childhood with access to proper healthcare and education by moving to the United States at a young age. While I think about how much different my life would be, I think about how I can give back. For the children that weren’t given the opportunity as I was, I want to pursue my passion for aiding others to a healthier lifestyle with endless possibilities. We all deserve to have optimal health and wellness during our lives. I hope to one day be able to positively affect the lives of communities and people who were not given the chance I was.

My name is Aeryn Longuevan and I am currently pursuing a Master of Public Health with a concentration in Biostatistics. I have a bachelor's degree in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, and I am excited to be in a field of study where I can use systems thinking and data analysis in a way that directly improves the health and well-being of my community.

In addition to being a student, I am the Vice President of the Public Health Student Association, and a Research Assistant supervised by Dean Joshi.
