As an experienced organizer and director of public health projects and a variety of health promotion activities, I have performed as an effective teacher/trainer, manager, and project leader. Having taught both professionals and students, while working in community outreach, I have an understanding of various learning models and teaching constructs, that result in behavioral change. Working with individuals from varying walks of life to progress through a variety of phases in the behavioral change process has been a rewarding and meaningful experience. The opportunity to see the growth and development with my target groups, friends, and colleagues have proven to be most enjoyable. Working at the local level as well as nationally and internationally, my experience includes researching and analyzing HIV/AIDS statistics for grants, and for a variety of other applications. While traveling extensively through Eastern Europe during my time in the Peace Corps, I have thrived in situations where it was necessary for me to adapt to new norms and cultures. My career goal, as a passionate public health professional, is to bridge the gaps in health inequities that result from socio-economic factors, such as lack of education, income inequality, and prejudice. I wish to work with the leadership of an organization that seeks to address public health holistically. Working with such an organization to create policies, and procedures that address the connection between people and their environments.
