“I am currently a Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA) student at the University of Iowa, with plans to graduate in the spring of 2027. In addition to my studies, I work as a student associate in the Department of Health Management and Policy. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Public Health from the University of Iowa in 2025. Having called Iowa City home for several years, I am excited to remain here this summer while serving as an administrative intern in Adult Inpatient Operations with University of Iowa Health Care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I would be happy to connect!”
