Major: Public-Global Health

Hi ! My name is Vy (Vee) and I am a senior in the Public-Global health major! I am passionate about uplifting student voices and promoting environments that are inclusive, diverse, and engaging. A lot of my time at the UW has been dedicated to roles that help first-year students find their footing at the university. I am more than excited to help all students develop successful academic strategies with Academic Support Programs (ASP) and I hope to grow and learn with all of you as well.

I plan to pursue a masters in healthcare administration and I hope to work in community health and health education. I am not 100% certain what my involvement will look like but I hope to promote community health through increasing access to public green spaces, affordable food resources, free or reduced healthcare, health education, and other resources to promote the overall health of a community.

Crafting, painting, reading, thrifting, taking walks, and general city exploring!

My first quarter at the UW I quickly learned that I needed a better system to organize my assignments, both large and small. Being a part of a school that runs on a quarter system means that things can move very fast, especially near the end of the quarter. I learned this the hard way when I forgot to turn in one weekly assignment for a class which did end up hurting my final grade for the class. I was very upset as I felt like this mistake should not be such a large reflection of how I did in the class. Ultimately, I learned that it is okay to make mistakes because mistakes help you build better habits.
