“I realised I had a knack for working in Public Health 🩺 while I was involved in that project, & decided to pursue a similar course in the UK 🇬🇧
I realised this was the ‘obvious next step’ to create bigger impact, and that’s how I landed up at @leverageedu”

Nashoma discovered the Public Health program at @UniOfYork using the AI Course Finder (leverageedu.com/course-finder) 🤖 & loved the curriculum at first sight!

University of York is one of Leverage Edu’s many proud Russel group partners 🤝

“I think doing a Masters in Public Health also opens up a lot of avenues for me to create real impact at scale. I am proud of my medicine background but I believe this course really brings together my 2 interests - public service 👥 and medicine 🫀” ..

Nashoma’s coach Aman recalls: ”She was a blast 👊🏻 to work with, she is a really sweet person + the fact that she came in with a knack for Public Health made so much sense”

Nashoma talks about her mom being an inspiration 👩🏽‍🏫 saying she “supported her right through the journey” & that “she has been her idol” her entire life. Nashoma’s father also served in the armed forces 🇮🇳🙏🏻

In addition to @UniOfYork, Nashoma had also received offers from @MiddlesexUni and @uochester - but York was love at first sight of course!

All the best you superstar ⭐️
