My first public health internship required me to do extensive research on adolescents, specifically on how to most effectively market new health behaviors to them. It was during this research that the complex nature of adolescents became obvious. Through my work and schooling it has become obvious that working with adolescents requires a specific understanding of what makes them tick. In addition to gaining the knowledge necessary to work with adolescents, the ability to gain practical experience working with adolescents attracted me to this course.
I am most looking forward to the practical experience that I will gain during this course. Most of my experience in public health has occurred in an office setting and I am looking forward to the opportunity to develop portfolios and work in the community. I also hope to gain a more clear understanding of adolescents that I can carry with me into my future professional work.
My schooling and experience have helped me hone my abilities in health communication and marketing. I have specific experience in creating materials and programs for adolescents, both professionally and academically. My undergraduate education also provided me with a solid base of health education methods that will contribute to the creation of health workshops.
