Sarah Crulcich is a Texas transplant and first-generation college student pursuing a Master of Public Health degree in Health Promotion & Health Education. She recently completed her dietetic internship and will be eligible to sit for the Registered Dietitian examination this fall. In addition, she holds a Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Neuroscience Psychology and in Dietetics from Purdue University. Crulcich's research focuses on health disparities, food insecurity, and grocery shopping behaviors. There are a number of moments she considers as her calling to public policy, but her favorite is the night she sat on the steps of the U.S. Capitol with several Senators discussing health care reform. She hopes to become one of the few Asian Americans in government relations and to inspire others to follow. After graduation she plans to return to the great city of Houston, home of some of the best food in Texas and the largest medical center in the world! Her goal is to help close the gap in health inequities by lobbying for more preventative care to be integrated into the health care system on both the state and national level.
