Vanessa Perez

I am a highly motivated and goal driven individual who is interested in pursuing a career in Public Health Advocacy. My objective is to obtain a position that allows me to utilize my passion for helping individuals receive the care they need. I want to create programs and policies that will allow individuals and families living in marginalized communities to have long-lasting positive resources readily available to them that will help to create and maintain healthy lifestyles: physically and mentally.

I am in the process of furthering my education in the pursuit of becoming a better health professional. I am currently looking for opportunities that allow me to get closer to reaching my goals.
