"My public health initiative would be to provide plan b birth control within the school systems for middle school, high school, and college-aged students. In addition, I would encourage school nurses to work with the school psychologists to counsel young women and have the medication available if necessary. I am very passionate about teen pregnancy and its prevention, and I believe a program like this would positively change the lives of many young women and men every single day."

"My true passion in this field is in mental health awareness and making this a priority. I am a firm believer that many of the extremely violent acts that we've seen in our country in recent years could have been avoided with awareness from loved ones and friends of those involved. As well, I do a lot of work with suicide awareness and prevention. If funds were unlimited, the initial stages would have to involve research and testing into effective methods of bringing mental health to the public's eye. How this is best done remains to be seen, but I think it needs to be a focus of our profession moving forward."

"If the budget weren't a concern, I would give five cities per state 500,000 to build a community garden. I think community gardens bring people together, encourage healthy eating, get people outside, and help our environment. All of these factors greatly benefit the overall health of people."
