Sam Olvera

Hello! My name is Sam, and I am a senior at Rice University studying bioengineering and global health technologies. I hope to continue working on global health technologies after college and enter the field of global health policy. I am so excited to be interning at the World Health Organization this summer at the headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. I hope you enjoy reading my blog as I do my best to document this incredible experience, and please feel free to contact me at smo4@rice.edu.
