Natalicio Serrano
Drawing inspiration from famous distance runner Steve Prefontaine, Natalicio decided to give his all in his education and his efforts to tackle the health issues he saw while growing up in a low-income food dessert in San Diego. Now he works diligently to promote physical activity, travel behaviors, and obesity prevention in that same city.
Natalicio obtained a Bachelors in Health Science (Public Health) and is working on his Masters Public Health with a concentration in Health Promotion and Behavioral Sciences from San Diego State University.
“This [Éxito!] program gave me tremendous insight into the path leading up to and beyond a doctoral program. Before the program I contemplated going for a PhD program, now I am not only planning, but feel strongly that I will succeed in a PhD program,” said Natalicio.
