Laura Smith graduated in 2010 from UGA with degrees in journalism and sociology. In addition to earning her master's in health and medical journalism, Laura is also pursuing a certificate in global health from the College of Public Health. She has a soft spot for infectious disease, which led her to East Africa in July 2011 to report on schistosomiasis control efforts. She hopes to use her degree to write truthful, effective health messages to the public on vaccination, infectious disease and the dynamics of our health system.
