Background

About Brooke Lee

I am a Behavioral Neuroscience major with a minor in Maternal and Child Health at Lehigh University, driven by a passion for addressing health disparities and promoting global well-being. My academic and professional journey has shaped me into a compassionate, systems-level thinker, particularly in the fields of maternal health and global health education. I have gained hands-on experience through projects that tackle critical health issues, such as cervical cancer in Sierra Leone, where I contributed to fieldwork and qualitative research that sought to better understand and address cultural barriers to healthcare. I am also deeply engaged in mentoring and collaborating with peers on research that explores how artificial intelligence can support healthcare workers in resource-limited settings. Beyond my research, I have cultivated a strong foundation in empathy and patient-centered care through my role as a Special Education Paraprofessional, where I supported students with diverse needs. This experience reinforced my belief in the power of individualized care and has inspired me to approach challenges with patience and understanding. Each of these experiences have deepened my interest in pursuing a medical career, where I aim to continue learning, building my clinical and research skills, and contributing to positive change in healthcare, especially for underserved communities.
