Since graduating from UVa in 2003 with a major in Biology and minor in Bioethics, I attended The School of Public Health at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  I am graduating in May of 2005 with my Master of Healthcare Administration, with a concentration in healthcare finance.  While at UNC, I have been interested in financing charity care, increasing access for patients and quality of care.  As I look forward to beginning my career in Healthcare Administration, I hope that my studies within bioethics will help me to better understand controversial healthcare issues as a future hospital leader.  I have accepted a post-graduate administrative fellowship with top executives at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA.  During my time at Jefferson, I hope learn first hand how ethical decisions are made and how hospitals deal with difficult cases.
