Testimonial
“As an undergraduate, I was part of the Public Health Association, where I conducted research and implemented health intervention programs to high school students in underserved areas. It was an enjoyable experience; therefore, I decided to continue working in public health when I moved back to San Francisco after graduating. I chose CCHRC because it provided hands-on experience in health outreach, education, and prevention as well as potential research opportunities. Moreover, as an Asian American, I felt strongly about the issues affecting the community and wanted to play a role in bringing these issues to light.
My experience at CCHRC helped hone my leadership, analytical, and critical thinking skills. I was involved in the development, implementation, and management of public health programs and developed a deep understanding on how these programs came into fruition. I was also provided with opportunities in research such as abstract and manuscript writing. Furthermore, my time with CCHRC helped me become even more culturally attuned. As a result, I am prepared and comfortable working with diverse populations.”
