“As a public health nutrition advocate, the College Scholars Program at the University of Tennessee greatly enhanced my educational, professional, and personal journey to be where I am today.”

I designed my program to explore the interdisciplinary nature of forensic neuropathology, which is a field where autopsies are performed to determine unknown causes of death related to the nervous system and the findings are applied across various contexts. My program combines coursework and hands-on learning experiences that will help me explore how different neurological abnormalities, such as neurological disorders, toxin exposure, and physical trauma, contribute to mortality and play a role in forensic investigations, criminal trials, and public health initiatives.
