Hi Class!!!!

Is it really already 2013 and another semester closer to graduation???  My name is Elizabeth Rourke. I am currently a senior at Texas Women's University perusing my bachelors degree in Health Studies and planning to continue to the Masters program for OT. I was born and raised in New Orleans, LA and recently moved to Texas 4 years ago. I have to say that I love it here but, I do miss my Cajun food, family and Mardi Gras! I am married to my wonderful husband of three years in April. My favorite hobbies are cross fit, shopping, travel, football (Geaux Tigers), make-up and scrap-booking.

The health industry has always been of interest to me since I was a child. I always dreamed of being a Dentist since I could remember. Until I grew older and realized how much schooling was involved and I changed my mind quickly. During this class I am hoping to learn more about the role of gender and culture in women around the world. After taking Global Health I am so ready to learn so much more about people in different cultures and occupations around the world. Every semester I look forward to growing and learning so much more about Health Studies in all areas. Best of luck to everyone this semester! Lets do this!!!!
