MARGARITA SOLIS

Margarita Solis is a public health student at the University of Texas at San Antonio, committed to improving health outcomes for underserved communities, particularly Spanish-speaking populations in South Texas.

Her passion was ignited through her volunteering at University Hospital and Corazon Clinic, which highlighted how systemic barriers such as cultural and language barriers manifest themselves when seeking care. 

As an IES Pathways Fellow, her research will focus on health education strategies that improve health literacy, particularly for underserved populations. 

These experiences drive her goal to address health disparities by improving health literacy and access to culturally informed care.
