“During graduate school, I had many economic hardships, but the G. Roger Florky Memorial Scholarship helped relieve the pressure during a very stressful time. That scholarship and others I received allowed me to push forward to finish graduate school and go on to have an impactful and rewarding career where I care for the health and safety of others. I plan to pay it forward and give a scholarship of my own to a student one day.”

“Receiving the Dean’s Scholarship bolstered my motivation to obtain a strong foundation of public health principles while progressing through medical school, which I did through the MD/MPH Program at UT Southwestern Medical School and UTHealth Houston School of Public Health. This recognition helped shape my trajectory, leading me to pursue fellowship training in occupational and environmental medicine at Yale University. There, I focused on practical applications of public health principles for my clinical practice and continued involvement in professional organizations, locally and nationally.”
