Elsie has recently been accepted into Ohio University Heritage College’s (Medical) Graduate Program. She is expected to be among their 2022 graduating class.
Prior to this placement:
Elsie was a Public Health Fellow at the Gannett Health Services Skorton Center for Health Initiatives. She graduated from Cornell University in 2015 with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology & Society and double minors in Global Health and Nutrition & Health.
During her time as an undergraduate student, she lived in Becker House (Ithaca, New York) for three years where she served as an active citizen for two consecutive years. Elsie then went on to complete a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Program in Health Studies under Cornell University’s Division of Nutritional Sciences in May of 2016. Through this program she learned and mastered transferable clinical, academic, social, and professional skills.
Elsie has travelled to Ibadan, Nigeria as a Fulbright Scholar through the Yoruba Group Projects Abroad; to Moshi, Tanzania through the Cornell Global Health Summer Program; and to Petersfield, Jamaica three times through the Carl Becker House Jamaica Spring Break course.
These experiences helped to deepen and broaden her cultural competency, critical thinking, empathy, and knowledge of global contexts. As a Public Health Fellow she will be involved in public health and research initiatives surrounding sexual assault, alcohol awareness, hazing, and mental health. She plans to earn an MD/MPH focusing on global public health for women, children, and teenagers.
