I’ve applied to other universities, but it’s the program that SFU offers that attracted me. I don’t think there are any other universities that approach Health Sciences the way SFU does at this time. I actually missed the application deadline for the graduate program when I first heard of it. That is why I took a few undergraduate BA courses before I applied to the MSc program.

After graduation, I’m thinking about doing the Canadian Field Epidemiology Program set up by the Canadian government. They train you for two years to become an epidemiologist.

I used to be a medical doctor in Philippines and I got tired of treating diseases on an individual basis. I’d like to shift into public health because it is a more general approach that allows me to impact a greater number of people.

My mom. She’s like an over-achiever in a way. She never stops trying to learn something new. Not only has she gotten a PhD in Economics, but she also has many interests. For example, she learnt how to play the piano, guitar and flute one after another when she’s in her 50s. She also likes learning new languages.
