What Brought You to Texas A&M University?
In the academic space of Texas A&M University, I am a second-year doctoral student in the School of Public Health pursuing a Ph.D. in Health Services Research. Pursing a doctorate after entering the work force was honestly not part of my career goals, but my personal life was bringing me back to the Brazos Valley. Let me share this background with you all. My, now, fiancé and I originally met at church during 2013 when I was working on my Master in Public Health at the School of Public Health, but we did not begin dating until 3 years later! We reconnected at our mutual friends’ proposal, December 2015, and during the celebration with our friends and their family, little did I know that we were on the brink of our own fruitful relationship.

Yet, for many international students, this amazing sport is a first time experience. I had grown up on cricket, soccer, and tennis but never football. So, you can imagine my excitement when I got my hands on the tickets for the first game of the season. Or can you? Well, fasten your seatbelts, because I will take you on a ride, and you will see game day with my eyes...
