I may have alluded to this in some capacity at our induction webinar but to offer a quick recap,this virtual internship is my first official entry point into the Public Health space and I could not be any more thrilled than I am to discover everything that this internship has to offer! For the next one year, I see myself continually creating and nurturing new and relevant skill sets (report writing, data collection, numeracy skills etc.) that are required. I also intend to polish and fine tune my existing skills - creating slide decks, content writing, working collaboratively, being detail oriented and communicating efficiently to name a few. For the next year, I want to keep myself open to all possibilities and experiences ranging from internships and job opportunities to an advanced Public Health degree.
As I maneuver my way through the different possibilities, I intend to spend my time doing two things:
1. Having conversations with people who have a Public Health career. I have been tapping into my network for conversations with people who might be able to share their insights with me.
2. Taking online courses. I recently completed ‘The Public Health Approach’ offered by Imperial College London and thoroughly devoured it. In the next three years, I see myself working for an organization where I could assist issues surrounding malnutrition, food security and influence health policy decisions. I am confident that all of the experiences starting from this internship would lead me to eventually accomplish this goal.
