Hello! I am Maarja, a final year medic at the University of Dundee, and I will be this year’s Scotland and Northern Ireland Regional Coordinator. This is my third year being involved with Student’s for Global Health and my first year on the national committee! My interest in global health grew during my year intercalating in International Health, and my primary area of interest is maternal global health. I am particularly passionate about increasing branch engagement with SfGH national and international opportunities as I think these are brilliant opportunities for personal development for our members. Additionally, I want to foster a real sense of network and community within the SNI region. Please feel free to email me with any and all questions about SfGH in the SNI region!
