My name is Constance Malacarne, and I am a senior at the University of Georgia studying Health Promotion. I am based in Athens, Georgia, and have maintained the Zell Miller Scholarship throughout my undergraduate career.
My initial interest in healthcare began with a focus on medicine, but over time, my perspective shifted toward public health. I became increasingly interested in understanding why healthcare is not always accessible or utilized when needed. This led me to explore broader systemic and structural factors that influence health outcomes.
Public Health Interests
I am particularly interested in examining disparities in healthcare access and outcomes. My academic experiences have allowed me to study the social and structural barriers that contribute to inequities in care.
Future Goals
I am currently applying to graduate programs to pursue a Master of Public Health in Health Policy and Management. My long-term goal is to contribute to policies that improve access to care and reduce health disparities.
