About Jhoanna Avelino, Junpeng Huang, Akif Ali and Gregory Stevens

Hi! I'm Junpeng, a Master of Public Health student driven by a belief that health is shaped far more by policy and systems than individual choices alone. My current academic interests span from gambling and substance use behaviors to diabetes risk reduction to the ways immigration policies like the Public Charge rule shape access to care and housing stability.

Outside of school work, you'll find me watching political comedy because satire says what policy briefs can't.
