In her most recent study, Em looked into the effects of mindfulness on emotional labor, such as depression and anxiety, to those in the general public. With an interest in the medical field, Em hopes to continue this research, furthering it to focus primarily on the Emergency Medical Service community and other high-stress medical jobs. Em hopes to become a cardiovascular surgeon and works as an Emergency Medical Technician.

My name is Tafadzwa Monalisa Musasa, a Zimbabwean student and UWC Davis Scholar. I came to SLU aspiring to take up the Biomedical Sciences major under the Pre-med track. However, after exploring Public Health classes, I have developed an understanding of the different facets of health and health improvement initiatives beyond clinical care. Now majoring in Biomedical Sciences and Public Health, I am privileged to be able to view health from different angles.
