Elijah Beard
Hello! My name is Elijah Beard, and I am a first-year Master of Health Administration student from Harrisburg, PA. While earning a B.S. degree in Health Policy and Administration at Penn State, I completed an administrative internship with the Mayo Clinic. Working alongside dedicated healthcare professionals was an invaluable learning experience and reassured my desire to pursue an MHA after graduation.
In my career, I strive to drive meaningful change and positively impact lives– those of patients, colleagues, community members, and ultimately anyone I may encounter. Ohio State‘s MHA program is preparing me to achieve my career goals by improving systems, removing barriers, and advancing equity, so that all patients can receive high-quality and accessible healthcare.
Grace Miller
Hi! My name is Grace Miller and I’m a first-year Master of Health Administration student from Orlando, Florida. I graduated from the University of Florida in 2025 with a BA in Economics and minors in Geography and Portuguese. I’ve gained experience through internships in the Finance Department at UF Health and the Strategy Department at Orlando Health. I’m passionate about addressing systemic inequalities in healthcare and advancing sustainability within the industry. Through this program, I am looking forward to opportunities to develop solutions that promote equity, efficiency, and long-term impact in healthcare systems.
