Ambika Vartak

My name is Ambika Vartak, and I am a third year Public Health Sciences major at UCI. I joined Word of Health because I am passionate about writing, researching, and educating people about different aspects of health. I believe that proper health, whether that is physical or mental, is extremely crucial for living a happy, productive life. Therefore, I hope to use this platform to not only shed some perspective on health-related topics but also to emphasize the importance of health. Feel free to reach out to me at avartak@uci.edu for any comments or suggestions.
