Bio

Hey! I'm Lihua, a current MBA student at Duke, Fuqua School of Business. I'm studying Health Sector Management and Finance, with a BS in Neuroscience and double minors in Dance + Linguistics. I was a pre-medical student and can help with combining ideas across different industries/ sectors. I have also had work in healthcare consulting for federal and state clients. I am an avid DIYer and love using my hands! I recently learned how to use power tools and custom cut shelves for a renovation. Anything involved in the arts/ being creative, count me in! I love my cat, Ollie and teaching him tricks, like down, paw, and speak (when he feels like it).

Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

Public Health Presentation

This presentation could suggest ways to integrate education and the performing arts to address health initiatives like COVID. The proposal could focus on using community engagement, participation, feedback, and resources to improve program participation and success. You would research a specific community and their resources to highlight and use for advocacy. I'd love to support your ideas on how we can educate the public on health issues and promote education on your topic of choice!
