Bio
My name is Kelsey Cook and I am currently a third-year undergraduate student majoring in Anthropology at the University of Florida. I was born in Cape Coral, Florida and graduated from North Fort Myers High School in May of 2021. During my gap year post-graduation, I worked as a Resident Assistant in a memory unit, Direct Care Provider for children with autism, Registered Behavioral Technician at an ABA clinic, and provided in-home care.
My passion for exploring the interdisciplinary connections between the humanities and science has motivated me to pursue MD-PhD programs in Anthropology. I am specifically interested in the aging population and conducting research surrounding dementia care. I am seeking opportunities to further my understanding of gerontology, health disparities, and dementia.
Outside of my academic and career pursuits, I am an avid reader, love puzzles, and love to spend time in nature with my animals. I have a dog named Boris and two cats, Echo and Tazz.
