Public Health

Hi everyone! I am Adriana Carrillo, and I am more than excited to be the head chair of the Public Health committee! Im currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Public Health and minor in Neuroscience and I will go on to pursue my career as a doctor in the future. I hold special passion for the biology of how our brain works and modulates itself, as well as improving community health and accessibility to healthcare! Some other things I love to do in my free time are powerlifting, playing guitar, spending time with my friends, watching some television shows, or listening to music. I love all music ranging from my favorite artist ever The Weeknd to some Mariachi or corridos. I hope to make a positive impact on the UNLV and Las Vegas community by improving health and wellness in the community.

Hi everybody! My name is Emily Cruz and I am an Honors College student and Biochemistry major with a minor in Neuroscience. My interests in pathophysiology and ambitions to provide accessible/evidence based medicine are a major part of my "why" for applying to medical school! My long-term goal is to specialize in pediatrics and neonatology. I have a profound connection and passion to our underserved communities and Nevada, and I am specifically driven by reducing the maternal mortality rate in marginalized communities and promoting outreach initiatives to educate families on prenatal and basic care. In my free time, I look forward to volunteering in the NICU, tending to houseplants, and coffee dates. I am so excited to be a part of AED's public health committee and work alongside our amazing chairs and officers to promote health equity and accessibility regardless of race, gender, and class.
