As the 2016 recipient of APA’s Judith McManus Price Scholarship, UCLA graduate student Ana Bonilla recieves $4,000 toward her planning degree.

After several years working in the healthy communities field Ana’s decision to return to school to pursue a Master’s in Urban and Regional Planning was fueled by the inextricable link between planning and other disciplines, specifically, public health. Ana looks forward to a career where she can apply principles of both planning and public health to address the links between health equity and land use decisions in Los Angeles County.
