Students of SPH

Kaylee Lammers got her BS in Biology with a concentration in developmental genetics from Stony Brook University. She wanted to help people while also using her background in biology and public health seemed like the perfect fit. During a gap year, she worked for two crisis prevention centers and learned a lot more about the barriers that exist for people wth mental health challenges. In her Public Health Administration & Policy program, she’s working with her state senator to assure better outcomes for kids.
