Ashleigh Martens

Public Health

I am so pleased and honored to have received this scholarship. I will be using this money to help me pay my tuition at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This money should cover one semester’s tuition at UNC which relieves a huge amount of weight off me and my family. I am studying Medical Anthropology and Neuroscience and will be graduating in 2024 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. After undergrad, I plan on studying Health Policy and Management, in order to get my Masters in Public Health.

My name is Ashtynn Lubben, I am 18 years old, and a freshman at Florida Atlantic University. I am majoring in Biological Sciences, concentrating in Marine Biology. Hopefully in the near future a internship will become available to start gaining experience in the field. I am planning to graduate with my Bachelors and continue on to graduate school to eventually receive a Masters Degree. After school I plan to use my degree and experience to get a job as a Shark Biologist. I hope to make a name for myself and create my own shark conservation group.

First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone involved in awarding me with this scholarship, and to my friends and family that encouraged me to apply. I plan on investing and saving the money to prepare myself for the next stage of my education: obtaining a PhD in Clinical Psychology. As an advocate of mental health and a witness to the importance of psychological treatment, I’m hoping to give back to the field and community that I’m so passionate about through my career. This money is going to help me tremendously in achieving this goal, so thank you again for the support.
