I am a junior Public Health major with a minor in Health Humanities. When I first came to SU, I explored several majors before discovering Public Health during my sophomore year. As a student-athlete on the Track and Field team, I have always been passionate about health, and my interest in communication and connecting with others made Public Health a natural fit. I serve as the Co-President of Eta Sigma Gamma (ESG), the Public Health Education Honorary Society. I am also a Presidential Citizen Scholar (PCS) and a member of the Anti-Tobacco and Nicotine Truth Initiative. These experiences have helped me grow professionally, expand my network, and connect with people from diverse backgrounds. My goal is to become a program coordinator or evaluator and use my passion for public health to make a meaningful impact. If you have any questions about Public Health, ESG, PCS, or communicating about health-related issues, please feel free to reach out! I would love to connect and have a conversation with you!

I am a senior majoring in the Respiratory Therapy (RT) program. When I first came to SU, I knew I wanted to work in healthcare, but I was not sure what would be the best fit. I soon discovered the Respiratory Therapy program and fell in love with the roles and responsibilities of a Respiratory Therapist. After graduation, I plan to become a Registered Respiratory Therapist and work at a level 1 trauma center. Beyond the RT program, I am also the Respiratory Therapy club SGA representative, a member of Eta Sigma Gamma, and a member of the 2026 Presidential Citizen Scholars Program. I look forward to serving as a CHHS Ambassador. Please feel free to reach out with any questions regarding the Respiratory Therapy program or the College of Health and Human Services!

I am a junior majoring in Health Science with a minor in Psychology. When I started at SU, I was a nursing major, then switched to biomedical science, and then found my home in Health Science, which I am extremely passionate about. After graduation, I plan to attend graduate school to become an occupational therapist. I aspire to work in school-based occupational therapy or hand therapy! I am choosing this career path because it is so important for people to have independence and be able to do the things they love.

Rashad Burnett-McCray rburnettmccray1@gulls.salisbury.edu
As a senior Respiratory Therapy major and a non-traditional student, I bring a unique perspective shaped by both personal experience and a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities students encounter throughout higher education. I have always wanted to pursue a career in medicine, which would allow me to work closely with patients while developing expertise in critical care across both adult and pediatric populations, as well as providing opportunities to work with advanced medical technology. After exploring various health care professions, Respiratory Therapy aligned best with my goals because of its specialized, hands-on role in patient care. Since choosing this path, I have had the opportunity to serve as President of the Respiratory Therapy Club, complete a summer internship at a Level I Trauma Center in downtown Baltimore, and be featured in SU Today for my experiences and accomplishments as a Respiratory Care student. I am excited to serve as a CHHS Advisory Board member and contribute to the continued growth of the College of Health & Human Services.

I am a senior at 富二代视频app University majoring in Medical Laboratory Science (MLS). I originally began as a biology major on the pre-med track, but I quickly discovered that I excelled in the laboratory setting and enjoyed the excitement of hands-on hypothesis testing. This experience ultimately led me to switch my major to Medical Laboratory Science. Along the way, I also discovered that research is my passion, which has inspired me to pursue a PhD. On campus, you can often find me at the library’s research help desk. Off campus, I work as a certified pharmacy technician in my hometown. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the MLS program, research opportunities, or ways to get involved on campus!

I am a senior majoring in Social Work and plan to further my education by enrolling in 富二代视频app University’s Master of Social Work program and pursuing my Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) credential.

Samantha Millspaugh smillspaugh1@gulls.salisbury.edu
I am a senior majoring in Respiratory Therapy. When I first applied to 富二代视频app University, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in medicine, but I did not yet know what I wanted to do. I came across Respiratory Therapy and realized how much helping people breathe could make a difference. I began looking for opportunities to learn more about the field by volunteering in the respiratory care department at my local hospital and later working there as an equipment tech. This past summer, I completed a clinical independent study by working alongside registered respiratory therapists, which furthered my decision to pursue this field. I am also the Vice President of the Respiratory Therapy Club and work as a lifeguard at Maggs Physical Activities Center Swimming Pool. My goal is to help other students in their academic journey, serving as a CHHS Ambassador. If you have any questions about the Respiratory Therapy program or anything else, please do not hesitate to reach out to me!
Dillon Otero dotero1@gulls.salisbury.edu
I am a senior majoring in Exercise Science. When I arrived at 富二代视频app, I was unsure about what area of study to pursue, and I began my freshman year as an Information Systems major. By sophomore year, I discovered that my passion lies within serving others and making an impact by helping people to live a healthier life – a realization that resulted in me changing my major to Exercise Science. Since then, I’ve immersed myself in my major, becoming an Exercise Physiology Research Lab Assistant, where I help to conduct studies examining the effects of exercise on various cardiovascular health markers. In the community, I serve as a student mentor for the Wicomico Mentoring Project. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
Faith Re fre1@gulls.salisbury.edu
I am a sophomore Exercise Science major on the pre-physical therapy track. After graduating from SU, I plan to attend physical therapy school to earn my Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree and pursue a career in clinical practice. My passion for physical therapy comes from my love of physical activity, my interest in the human body, and, most importantly, my desire to help others improve their quality of life. My interest in this field was confirmed during my time as a physical therapy technician at a local PT clinic in high school. Outside of academics, I am on the 富二代视频app Women’s Basketball Team, where I can represent 富二代视频app University competitively and serve the community. I am excited to represent CHHS as an ambassador this academic year. If you have any questions about Exercise Science, CHHS, or what 富二代视频app University has to offer, please reach out!
Taylor Takacs ttakacs1@gulls.salisbury.edu
I am a senior majoring in Medical Laboratory Science (MLS). I chose this major to better understand the laboratory’s behind-the-scenes contributions to patient care and healthcare. As a Patient Care Technician in the ER, I see one side of the clinical picture through direct patient care. I’ve always been curious about what happens in the laboratory and how diagnostic testing directly informs interventions, medications, and treatment decisions. Outside of school, I volunteer as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) and youth mentor, experiences that have given me valuable insight into navigating the civil court system while supporting children in need. Following graduation, I hope to work in a core laboratory, where I can perform diagnostic testing, contribute to transfusion medicine, and support physicians in delivering quality patient care. I plan to pursue higher education and work toward earning my M.D. I’m excited for the opportunity to work with my peers and contribute to other students’ academic experiences through the CHHS Student Advisory Board! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the MLS program—I’d be happy to help!

I am a senior double majoring in Health Science and Marketing with a sales and business development track. I chose to study health science because I’ve always been passionate about understanding how health care can improve people’s lives.

I’m excited to collaborate with fellow board members, build new relationships, and help enrich the CHHS experience for all students. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions!
