 I spent a portion of my childhood living overseas in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Thailand and Taiwan. You really realise just how lucky you are and I do think that I have a duty to get back to the community, particularly to those who are less fortunate in our world. It's very confronting to actually see statistics that you read and get taught about in real life and that's because suddenly these numbers become real people with families and I think I was well equipped to work in this environment with the knowledge that I had gained from Griffith Medical School. I just realised how big this concept of health is, one of the most effective ways I think to target it is through promoting public health measures and that's a way to actually create a sustainable change within a community. When I found out I received the Queensland Road Scholar, I was speechless, it was completely surreal and still pinching myself. I'm travelling to Oxford on a road scholarship to study a Master of Global Health Science in Epidemiology. The founder of Road Scholarship, his vision was to enable young people to fight the world's fight. The ultimate goal would be to work in the global health space. My vision is to help to reduce health inequality.
