​"Before starting my internship, I was aware of my interest in entomology, but I have not heard much about public health and its relationship with entomology. This experience allowed me to understand that I love working in lab, but most importantly, I love helping people in any possible way. It is amazing to be able to use entomology and implement it in the community." - Gloria Raise
