I got a B.S in Public Health from East Africa, Ethiopia. It was a whole journey, but I managed to finish my Masters in Healthcare Administration in May—a big deal for me since it's always been my dream. I'm interested in Global Health and on the hunt for job opportunities to apply my skills and experiences. Job hunting has been a bit of a maze, almost as tricky as getting that Masters. Learned a bunch along the way, especially about the perks of networking, making connections, and doing some self-branding. Thanks for sharing, Paula! You're a real inspiration—keep it up!

Unfortunately my own journey as an international student here has come to an abrupt stop . I wasn’t able to find any job that would sponsor , let alone any roles . It’s heartbreaking that I have to leave .
