U.S. Grad School Life | MPH/MBA and MBA Student Leaders at Johns Hopkins Share Lessons and

What does it take to thrive as an international student at one of the world’s top public health institutions?

In this episode of Banda Global Forum, Dr. Banda Khalifa speaks with two dynamic student leaders from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Carey Business School:

  • Ashok Kumar Kanaparthi, a physician from rural India and recent MPH/MBA graduate, who served as Student Assembly President

  • Saana Kataria, a dentist and MBA graduate, who served as President of the Oral Health Society and Vice President for Intercampus Affairs

Together, they reflect on their graduate school journey—from navigating academics, leadership roles, and cultural transitions to building a strong support network and planning careers in global health and business.


What you’ll learn:
✅ How they got into Hopkins and why they chose their programs
✅ What made their experience unique as student leaders
✅ Tips on managing time, stress, and academics
✅ Funding, networking, and mentorship strategies
✅ Life in the U.S. as international graduate students
✅ Advice for future applicants considering dual degrees or career pivots

Whether you're applying to grad school, already enrolled, or advising others on their journey, this conversation offers real-life perspective you won’t find in brochures.
