My name is Varsha Erapogla, and I am a student at the University of Maryland majoring in Global Health. I aspire to build a career in maternal health research, both in the United States and globally. I am deeply committed to addressing health disparities and improving outcomes for mothers, particularly in underserved communities. Through my academic and professional experiences, including work with University of Maryland Capital Region Health, I have explored disparities affecting mothers in Prince George’s County and strengthened my commitment to advancing health equity. My work focuses on developing culturally responsive, community-centered interventions, including the use of digital health tools to improve access to care and health education
