Students of SPH

Gabbie Cesarone grew up in St. Charles, IL, and studied biochemistry at Washington University. She wanted to do something in the STEM field, but also liked having a direct impact on people. That desire led her to public health and work that invests in the health and well being of all people. For Gabbie, a soccer player, Minnesota “...was like a perfect storm: I could engage in rigorous research activities at a top school of public health while also playing soccer on a Big Ten D1 stage.”

What do you like about being in Minnesota? One thing that I’ve noticed since moving here is that Minnesotans love Minnesota! There is state pride here more than anywhere else I’ve been. I feel like there is a deep loyalty and richness in the communities, the cities, and in the state. It has a special energy about it.

— Gabbie Cesarone, Public Health Administration & Policy MPH
