Danielle Kline, M.P.H. ’22, learned what it’s like to have a loved one struggle with breast cancer watching her mother battle the deadly disease. Interactions with her mother’s treatment team convinced Kline to pursue a career in oncology. And as a student in the Chronic Disease Epidemiology Department at the Yale School of Public Health, Kline is doing just that.
“Cancer isn’t a disease that affects a single aspect of one’s life.
