Hello, I'm Adhithi! I am from the US and I am a student in the Master's Programme in Global Health. I graduated from my bachelor's this past year. During my studies, I interned for a community health organisation and promoted migrant and refugee health. I applied to KI to pursue a formal education in global public health in a diverse, international classroom. I also wanted to take advantage of KI's resources and research opportunities to learn more about fields I am interested in, such as child and maternal health and health policy, as well as explore new topics. I am also thrilled to join the fabric of Stockholm and get to know it better, especially through its nature and café scene.

After my studies at KI, I’m looking forward to integrating global health and medicine to promote the health and well-being of refugees and immigrants. I especially intend to focus on developing health promotion initiatives to address maternal and child health disparities and become involved in policy change. 

During my time in Scandinavia, I look forward to hiking and exploring the gorgeous natural beauty of the region, travelling to nearby countries and learning more about their respective cultures, and trying new pastries which is an activity that I am thoroughly enjoying already! I also have a goal of trying new sports and physical activities this year, like skiing and dancing.
