Galen is in his first year of a joint master’s degree program at the Yale School of Public Health and School of Management. Prior to Yale, he served for nine years in the U.S. Army as a Special Forces Medic. Galen spent four years stationed in Germany, where he was able to work and travel across Europe. After leaving the military, he moved to San Francisco to attend school, explore the Sierras, and occasionally volunteer in Eastern Europe. He is enthusiastic about further exploring humanitarian work during his time at Yale.
Galen absolutely loves learning new skills. From knitting to skydiving, he will try pretty much anything. On nice days you can often find him running through the park or having a coffee at one of the many East Rock markets.
