I earned my Master of Public Health from East Tennessee State University with a docus in Communith Health, and my Bachelor of Science in Health Science from South College. My education gave me a solid foundation in public health, epidemiology, and community education, and I was able to put that knowledge into practice during my internship. I worked on health promotion projects, helped collect and organize data, and took part in community outreach to connect people with valuable health resources. Those experiences taught me how to communicate effectively, stay organized, and work with others to make a real difference in community health.
