In 2024, Aysha-Lynn Estrella will graduate from Syracuse University with a degree in Health and Exercise. She plans to attend the University of Utah beginning June of 2024 focusing on a Master’s in Athletic Training.
Aysha-Lynn suggests having an open mind regarding your project and being amenable to changes and revisions. She says, “Be passionate about your project.” It helps to find your purpose in your project and what you want to study.
Throughout the internship, Aysha-Lynn enjoyed being in a group of people that recognized the importance of minority health and the effects of its disparities. “I liked how focusing on specific minority populations wasn’t a polarizing topic. Sometimes people don’t believe that communities face inequality in service or data collection, but with this group I didn’t have to fight for compassion and could instead focus my efforts on completing my project without any pushback.”
