Position Title:

School-Based Dental Program Assistant

Where are you from?

I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, but I’ve spent the past 6 years completing my undergraduate and graduate degrees in Baltimore, Maryland.

Why did you decide to join NHC?

I decided to join NHC to gain a different perspective on public health beyond the scope of research. Upon completing a master’s thesis on school-based health education programs, I sought out the opportunity to get involved within one in the pursuit of hands-on experience of working with a team to deliver health education to students. Additionally, NHC stood out to me as a wonderful opportunity to connect and build meaningful relationships with the community that I would be serving and living alongside.

What are you hoping to gain or learn during your service term?

I am hoping to gain a deeper understanding of the inner workings and behind-the-scenes of designing and implementing a health education program. I hope to learn the best practices of delivering an effective health education program to encourage behavior change and healthier habits!

What are you most looking forward to during your service term?

I’m most looking forward to meeting new people and exploring new places, and above all, learning lots!
