[Derek]Hometown: Florence, Kentucky

Research Interests: Maternal Health

Major: Health & Soceity

Dreams: I am striving for a Ph.D. in a Health related field specifically focusing on maternal health. By focusing on maternal health I will be part of the solution in bridging the gap of inequality that currently surrounds women's health not only on a global scale but also a local one by taking a rights based approach to health.
