I am a PhD Candidate in the Global Community Health and Behavioral Sciences Department of the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. I was lucky enough to receive the Changemaker Catalyst Award to present at the ICOH 2019 : International Conference on One Health. I presented a part of my dissertation work titled: "Women's Fertility Decision Making As A Response to the Zika Virus Epidemic in Fortaleza, Brazil." This award allowed me to present important findings, share ideas, teach others, and learn from those professionals who respond first to global outbreaks.
