Tessa Kehoe

Tessa Kehoe is a senior majoring in Human Physiology with minors in Global Health, Economics, and Chemistry. She is the president of the Students for Global Health club and does research in a biology lab on campus. This past summer, Tessa traveled to Quito, Ecuador and completed a seven-week program through CFHI (Child Family Health International) shadowing in hospitals and clinics. The focus of the program was “Reproductive and Sexual Health as a Human Right”. This program allowed her to gather insight into the field of reproductive and women’s health, as well as observe the public health system in Quito. Medicine and public health are two interests Tessa hopes to combine in the future. The program also allowed her to further her competency in Spanish by taking classes and living with a host family.
