I am an undergraduate student double majoring in Finance and Economics from Guatemala. I had the opportunity to go to boarding school in Virginia for two years, where I realized the importance of celebrating where I'm from and where other students are from as well. I love learning Chinese and hope to study in Shanghai for a semester, but I want to explore a lot more, starting right here at Tulane. There are people from so many different backgrounds, and we live in such an amazing city, and I want to contribute as much as possible in my three remaining years here!

I am a Medical doctor from Pakistan, after my Med School, I did MBA in HRM and I worked in a few hospitals as house officer and subject instructor. Pursuing an MPH will help me align my degrees I already have and will help me in getting a professional edge in fields which demand both the clinical, research and managerial skills. I like to find and discover new things, wants to carry out researches whether clinical or non-clinical, just out of curiosity to find out the outcomes of the study being done.

Hello, my name is Hang Dao. I'm from Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. I'm a senior majoring in Finance and Psychology. As much as I love books and studying, I enjoy playing the violin and traveling. I also love learning new languages, because it is the greatest way to instantly connect with people and keep my mind open to new cultures and experiences. My goal is to be fluent in five languages.

Being a member of the ISAB is an honor to me, because the OISS has continued to create a better experience for all international students. And I want to make your Tulane and US experience become one of the most amazing memories for all international and exchange students. Please contact me if you have any questions, even just about where to get coffee off-campus.
