Krystal Flores, an assistant professor at the Texas A&M Higher Education Center in McAllen, recently received funding that allows her students to develop local public health interventions in the Rio Grande Valley.
Flores initially planned to attend medical school but changed paths after taking a course in border health. Flores said her goal was to mentor students in the importance of public health and help local communities have better access to basic needs, and she was recently awarded funding from the Higher Education Center to do just that.
According to A&Mâs Public Health news contributor Vital Record, âThe goal of her proposal is to provide funds for students in her Applications of Public Health class to develop and implement two local public health interventions in partnership with local stakeholders in the Rio Grande Valley.â
