Natalia – Switzerland, France and Italy

If you have not guessed by now, I am heading to Europe!!! 

Hi, my name is Natalia Rodrigues, and I am currently a rising senior at ECU majoring in Public Health. I am fortunate enough to be traveling to France, Switzerland, and Italy where we will be learning all about global health. I cannot wait to learn about all the diversities of these countries. 

This trip is super meaningful to me as I have never left the country before, I am so excited to be able to immerse myself in so many diverse cultures! Our main focus during this trip will be global health, and I cannot wait to see how other countries approach healthcare, public health policies, and overall community well-being. I am also eager to note the differences between these countries healthcare system but also how they differ from the U.S health system. I believe this experience will deepen my understanding of global health but also help set the tone public health professional I aspire to be. I am so thankful to share this wonderful experience with amazing faculty and peers who are just as eager to learn about global health as I am.
