Our Impact

Patricia Cheung, MPH 11'

"In my undergrad years, I started down the pre-med track, but it wasn’t until I began working on my second major of educational studies that I became interested in public service," explains Patricia Cheung, MPH 11'.

"One thing I love about the Brown School is our community’s diversity, the wide spectrum of different ages, cultures, outlooks, and experiences. For example, every day I study alongside people who are older than I and have been working in the field for many years. The perspectives they bring to the classroom and also outside of the classroom enrich my experience and help me see things from a different angle that I might not have considered without them. When we put our differences – and heads – together, we’re better equipped to solve public health problems."
