Why GoHelP:
"Taking the path of a health geographer and having Professor Susan J. Elliott as my supervisor and head of the GoHelP Lab makes me a default member of the Lab. Additionally, my undergraduate specialization in medical geography aligns with the research focus of the GoHelP Lab. The lab offers a supportive environment for learning and provides opportunities to engage and network with peers through knowledge-sharing and collaborative research."
