Alison Spiller

Hello! I’m Alison Spiller (She/Her/Hers) and I am a Graduate Assistant for the Center for Health Profession Studies (CHPS) at UD. As a CHPS Graduate Assistant my main roles consist of coordinating activities in a Living Learning Community for first-year students in a Pre-Health pathway and assisting students with their personal statements and resumes. Whether you need help updating your resume or personal statement, or are starting from scratch, I am here to help!

I graduated from the University of Delaware in 2022 with my Bachelor of Science in Health Behavior Science and a minor in Public Health. I am continuing my education here at UD by pursuing a Master’s of Public Health in Epidemiology and am passionate about health equity.

My hobbies include doing any kind of arts and craft project, hiking/canoeing/kayaking, and spending as much quality time with my family and friends as possible.
