About
My Name is Catalina Yepez and I am currently a third year student in the WSU Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical sciences program. I am also in the Rural Health Initiative which is where I want to focus my career in. I currently live in a small rural town called Prosser and commute daily to school about fifty minutes. My goals this year are to learn as much as I can about the significance of Rural Health and how I can contribute to rural health and rural communities near my hometown. I want to gain experience in working with rural communities so that I can get to know more about the barriers that they face and how the experience from my rural hometown can contribute to serving other communities. By being a part of the National Rural Health Association, I will learn more about the meaning of rural health and of ways that I can contribute to fill in the health disparity gaps. I also want to connect with other students and learn from them and their experiences.
