Over the past year, I have had a fulfilling year of courses in my Master of Public Health program and feel very bittersweet about approaching graduation in May. In particular, I have enjoyed courses on theories of disease distribution, reproductive health and justice and qualitative research methods. All of these courses have completely changed my approach to my research, and I look forward to continuing to learn and grow in my final semester. In addition to courses, I have been incredibly lucky to be working with the PeRInatal Substance Use Research and Advocacy at Mass General (PRISM) research group which I have absolutely loved. I am passionate about pursuing a research career post-graduation aimed at increasing supports instead of surveillance for families impacted by substance use. Our research explores how residential treatment programs and clinics can increase family-tailored supports such as overnight nanny care or improving clinical tools to reduce reports to child protective services and build on familial strengths. I am so grateful to have a mentor and research team who inspire and motivate me to join this field. I am exploring paths to continue this after graduation potentially through a PhD program or through additional work experiences. Outside of school and work, I am grateful for a wonderful community and roommates in Somerville. I try to get up to the White Mountains and hike with friends as much as I can, and I love seeing the landscapes of all four seasons there. I want to thank MVYouth from the bottom of my heart for your support. My college experience gave me both sustaining friendships and academic foundations that have brought me to this work that I love!
