Meet Anna Barone 

Program: Master of Science (MS) in Toxicology for Human Risk Assessment  
Hometown: Kansas City, MO.  
Fun fact: I have a bunny named Burberry who has moved cross-country with me twice!

What sparked your interest in environmental science?  
I like the interdisciplinary nature of environmental science – being able to collaborate with people from different fields to study what we're exposed to and to solve pressing global challenges. 

Why did you choose Johns Hopkins?  
The MS in Toxicology is a unique program in that it focuses on regulation and policy of environmental toxins and prepares you for a career after you graduate. 

What is your favorite thing about living in Baltimore?  
The historical neighborhoods! I love Fells Point and the Inner Harbor and the old architecture and layout.

What advice do you have for prospective students interested in joining the EHE community?  
Don't be scared to apply, even if you think you don't have the "perfect" application. I thought I shouldn't even bother to apply because I wouldn't be able to make the cut for such a renowned university, but I'm so glad I did, and now I feel like I'm right where I need to be.
