“The opportunity to pursue doctoral training at Yale was a dream come true. When I arrived at Yale, I hoped to study how residential factors influence cancer risk, prognosis, and long-term survival. Working with Dr. Xiaomei Ma, professor of epidemiology, I was able to pursue this interest while complementing my studies with courses at the Yale School of the Environment and applying advanced spatial methodology to my research. I received the prestigious Ruth L. Kirschstein Predoctoral Individual National Research Service Award from the National Institutes of Health and the Yale Center for Clinical Investigation Pre-Doctoral Award in support of my research endeavors. At Yale, I further developed my pedagogical skills by serving as a Teaching Assistant in several courses. These teaching experiences were incredibly rewarding, as I had the opportunity to interact with the broader Yale community and received the Yale School of Public Health Teaching Fellow Award in recognition of these efforts. As I prepare for the next chapter, I am looking forward to applying my public health research and teaching skills to improve health conditions among marginalized communities and reduce health disparities. I am incredibly grateful to my mentors and students for creating the best doctoral experience I could ask for and strive to pay it forward in my future career.” - Sunny Siddique, PhD ’25
