Global Health Paper
This paper was the conclusion of my global health course. I was able to apply everything that I had learned in the course to a real life situation in Malawi. I learned how much poverty affects countries. The health of citizens is affected by more than diet and exercise; it involves the provided education, jobs, and opportunities for people to have more control over their lives.

Outbreak Investigation
This paper summarizes an outbreak investigation that I completed in my epidemiology class which involved looking into what food caused a Salmonella outbreak. I went through the investigation steps, which helped me piece together all of the key ideas that I learned in my class. Through this class, but more specifically this assignment, I understood the importance of epidemiology and how it is used in a practical sense.
