Summer Undergraduate Research Program - Fred Hutchinson ...

Johns Hopkins School of Public Health would build upon this experience, providing an
opportunity to learn about the use of social and cultural framework to address health and
wellness, and also gain the education necessary to able to help develop the next
generation of health professionals with the mix of new ideas and best-practice
interventions. Throughout my research, it has become evident that effective health
behavior change is motivated by cultural competent approaches and the use of
technology. The work and research of Dr. Cheyenne Fox and Dr. Sara Emmet among
other members of the faculty would serve to complement a solid research background
dedicated to understanding and improving health disparities among communities in the
northeast, and would provide invaluable knowledge and training that I would be able to
apply both to my dissertation research and my future work with underserved populations.
