“This opportunity felt like a great fit because of the applicability to our Commerce studies (being a strategic app intervention with various stakeholders), my Psychology background (being a qualitative research study with a human-first design), and Liza’s interest in studying medicine (taking place in a hospital setting),” -- Carolin Fabian

This photo was taken on one of our many bus trips to see different parts of Rwanda. It shows the heavily cultivated nature of Rwanda, as well as the ingenuity of the farmers in dealing with the agricultural problems of "The Land of a Thousand Hills."

Part of One Health is the notion of a human-animal bond. After an interesting conversation with one of the horse owner, I learned that there are about 20 horses that make a daily climb up the side of a volcano with the intent of taking tourists. After having ridden one for part of the way, I was left dumbfounded by the ease with which Malboro (the horse) was able to navigate the difficult uphill trail.

This a photo of me riding Buck through a bison field. One of my favorite parts of the project is that I was able to ride horses almost everyday.
