🥳GHA EBOARD COUNTDOWN🥳:

All good things must come to an end, but there is no better way to finish this year's EBoard Countdown than with our amazing Co-Presidents, NEHA ANDHOLE and RACHEL SINA!

With all of the changes brought about this year, strong leadership and passion are more important than ever. Luckily, we have the best people for the job. Neha and Rachel have worked hard all summer coordinating meetings and planning for the school year! Here's a little more about each of them:

Hi! My name is Neha and I’m the GHA Co-president. I’m a senior studying Genetics & Genomics and Global Health. In the future, I hope to work at the intersection of Medicine and public policy, so I can make the communities we live in more equitable. I love playing tennis, reading, going on hikes and hanging out with my friends

Hello! I am Rachel, a fourth-year student studying Biology and Gender & Women’s Studies with a certificate in Global Health. I am passionate about health care access and quality improvement, specifically in the realms of reproductive and mental health. In my free time, I love to read, explore the natural world (see photo below of me on the Nile river last summer!), and discover new restaurants with my friends. My favorite part about GHA is our community atmosphere and diverse opportunities for students to engage in global health discourse and praxis, and I’m so excited to see what we can accomplish this year

We hope you've enjoyed learning a little more about our Executive Board for the 2020-2021 school year! All of our EBoard members put in so much time and effort to make sure the Global Health Alliance at UW-Madison is the best it can possibly be- and we're beyond grateful for it!

Happy Monday! Today, we're excited to introduce you all to our wonderful Service Coordinator, EDNA DAWIT!

All year, we work hard to raise money for our international nonprofit partner organization. During the summer, we send a group of students to visit and work with this organization and learn more about what they do. As Service Coordinator, Edna does an amazing job of linking our organizations and planning our summer service internship. Here's a little more about Edna:

Hi! My name is Edna Dawit. I am the Service Coordinator on Eboard. I am a junior and I am studying Psychology. After my bachelors I would like to get my masters or doctorate and eventually work as a child psychologist. I love to hang out with my friends, go outside, and watch movies!

🥳GHA EBOARD COUNTDOWN🥳:

What's the best way to end the weekend? By learning about two of our awesome EBoard members, of course! Today, we're excited to introduce our Campaigns Co-Chairs, RITA SIMPSON and SARA WILKE!

A major part of our student organization is fundraising for our international nonprofit partner. Rita and Sara play a crucial role in coming up with creative fundraisers, especially during the age of social distancing. Be on the lookout for some of our fundraisers, and know that these two awesome EBoard members are behind them. Here's a little more about Rita and Sara

Hi! My name is Rita Simpson. I’m a senior in the School of Nursing. After completing my BSN, I plan to attend graduate school to get my DNP and pursue a career as a Nurse Practitioner or CRNA. In my free time, I like to ski & snowboard, spend time with friends, tailgate, and travel.

Hi! My name is Sara Wilke. I am majoring in nursing with a global health certificate. After graduation, I plan to work for a couple years in an ER or ICU and then go back to school to pursue my NP and work as a nurse practitioner. In my free time I enjoy being outside, hanging out with friends, and spending time with my family and dog!

It's hard to believe that we're already halfway through our EBoard countdown. Today, we're excited to share about our Communications Director, JESSICA DABLE!

Communication is important to us, especially during a time when everything is online. We want to make sure to keep all of our members up-to-date with everything we're doing each week! Here's a little about Jessica:

Hey all! My name is Jessica Dable and I am a junior majoring in Biology and French with a certificate in Global Health. After finishing my Bachelor's degree, I would like to attend either medical or PA school and also pursue a Master's in Public Health. In my free time, I love reading, running, cooking, and spending time with my friends.

Max has done a wonderful job making us aware of different service opportunities in the community! Here's a little about Max:

Hey my name is Max Flanagan and I’m a sophomore studying Biochemistry, Global Health, and Spanish. My dream is to get my MD and become a pediatric doctor for underprivileged children across the globe. I’m into music, exercising, and spending time with my favorite people

Here's a little more about Hannah:

Hi! I'm Hannah Kreuser and currently, I'm a sophomore majoring in Neurobiology, Spanish, and Mathematics. In the future, I plan to attend medical school and learn more about aerospace medicine, pediatrics, and family medicine.
