Jacqueline Richards<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy personal experiences pushed me to continue exploring what public health means,\u201d Richards said. \u201cI think using those experiences and identities that you have in your personal life to fuel you is really important \u2014 and those perspectives are needed in the health field.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June, Richards graduated from the University of Washington Bothell with a master\u2019s degree in Community Health & Social Justice. From\u00a0selecting\u00a0classes to\u00a0pursuing research opportunities, her experiences\u00a0were\u00a0the driving force behind everything she did,\u00a0including a fellowship with the\u00a0UW\u2019s\u00a0Latino Center for Health<\/a>.\u00a0The Community Health & Social Justice\u00a0program\u00a0aims to support the urgent need for health professionals who understand the root causes of inequities \u2014 and have the education and skills to address them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her second year, Richards was awarded a fellowship with the Latino Center for Health<\/a> \u2014 an interdisciplinary research center established under the UW\u2019s School of Social Work to promote the health and well-being of Latinx individuals, families and communities in Washington. Offered annually, the fellowship is awarded to graduate or professional students who demonstrate a commitment to improving the health of Latinx communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richards was nominated and endorsed by several SNHS faculty members. <\/p>\n\n\n

I didn’t even know this was an opportunity that was out there. I’m so glad that the faculty were looking out for me and thought that I was a good fit.\n <\/path>\n<\/svg><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
