I am currently a part-time Year 1 MPH student concentrating on Health Economics, Policy, and Management. I am also a registered nurse with experience in the healthcare sector, having completed my Bachelor's degree in Nursing from HKU. My professional background has deeply influenced my interest in public health. I decided to pursue a Master of Public Health (MPH) to broaden my understanding of public health issues and acquire the skills necessary to address these challenges at a systemic level. Specifically, my interest lies in understanding the economic aspects of healthcare, crafting effective policies, and managing health services to enhance the efficiency and equity of healthcare delivery. Being granted the UGC Targeted TPg Fellowships was an incredible honor. It not only provided financial support, making it easier to focus on my studies, but also validated my commitment to public health. This fellowship has been a significant motivator, encouraging me to excel in my coursework and research. One of the aspects I have enjoyed most during my MPH study has been the interdisciplinary approach to learning. Engaging with peers from diverse professional backgrounds has enriched my perspective and has been invaluable in understanding the multifaceted nature of public health issues. Upon graduating from the MPH program, I aspire to work in public health policy development, focusing on areas such as health economics, policy-making, and management. I aim to leverage my clinical experience and newly acquired public health expertise to make a broader impact on healthcare systems and community health and well-being.

As a registered nurse and current first-year student in the MPH program at HKU, specializing in Epidemiology and Biostatistics, I bring a unique perspective to the field of public health. In my current role as a project leader with an NGO in Sai Kung, I oversee the implementation of mobile primary health services in rural areas. This position has provided invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities in delivering healthcare to underserved populations. My decision to pursue an MPH was driven by a firm belief in universal health access and informed by my experiences in Sai Kung. The program's core values - effective learning through shared experiences, diversity and inclusiveness, and evidence-based approaches - align closely with my professional ethos and the realities I've encountered in Sai Kung. Receiving the UGC Targeted TPg Fellowship was a significant milestone. This recognition not only provides financial support but also serves as a powerful motivator in my HKUMPH journey. It has instilled a deeper sense of responsibility and commitment to excel in my coursework. The MPH program has been intellectually stimulating and professionally rewarding. The opportunity to engage with like-minded individuals who share a commitment to public health has been particularly enriching. Additionally, the expertise and support of the faculty have been instrumental in expanding my understanding of complex public health issues. Upon completion of the MPH, I aim to leverage my advanced knowledge and skills to develop and implement more comprehensive primary healthcare programs for rural areas. My long-term objective is to contribute to evidence-based policy-making that addresses healthcare disparities and promotes “Health for All” access to health services. This educational journey represents more than personal development; it's an investment in the capacity to effect meaningful change in community health. I look forward to applying these learnings to create tangible improvements in public health outcomes.
