My Experience Abroad:
My virtual GRIP experience allowed me to have a hands-on experience that connected the theories I learned in my HSOC classes with my interests in nutrition and global health work in Latin America. Overall this experience provided me with valuable lessons concerning global health work and remote work that I will take with me throughout my final year at Penn and in my career.
Other Highlights:
