JILLIAN KADOTA
Jillian Kadota is a first year MPH Epidemiology/Biostatistics student in the Global Health Specialty Area. After graduating with a B.A. in Public Health from UC Berkeley, Jill pursued work experiences in health at both the government and non-profit level. Since, she has returned to her alma mater in the pursuit of a higher education in public health, particularly interested in using her MPH education to make an impact in women’s health issues on a global scale. As such, Jill is thrilled for the opportunity to spend her summer internship doing research on the health impacts of heavy load carrying in Tanzanian women.
"One of my main objectives coming into my MPH program was to gain a meaningful summer internship experience that would allow me to both put into practice the public health skills I have learned thus far at Berkeley, as well as expand my horizons as a public health professional interested in doing fieldwork in women’s health on a global scale. Because of this, I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to be spending my summer doing research on the health effects of heavy load carrying in women in Tanzania, and anticipate this experience to be a defining aspect of my time as an MPH student here at Cal."
