I am passionate on helping people and making changes in others’ lives. Like I stated before, my mother had been trapped herself in the apologetic emotion for years. The mental burden had made her down. Therefore, I decided to help my mother get rid of the self-accusation, by using the knowledge I learned in the Human Services major. To illustrate, I was telling her that it was not her fault of divorce, and she was not showing me the negative image of a marriage. Instead, I admire her braveness of ending a marriage when it was necessary, especially in the time when people were stereotyping divorced women and at the place where people were being judgmental. Now, her self-blameless has been reduced, and she told me that she was not felt as guilty

I also have an extensive training in working with local agencies. The spring semester of my sophomore year, I began volunteering at the Cedar Valley Hospice for approximately 20 hours a month. I was trained in the following areas: Patient/Family, Grief, and Cedar AIDS Support System (CASS) services. Through my work at the CASS, I was responsible for making contacts with a variety of other agencies on the behalf of my clients, such as the Black Hawk County Health Department, Operation Threshold, and the Cedar Valley NAMES Project. In this capacity, I did office work, I was a buddy to an HIV positive individual, and I did face-to-face education panels in local school and community settings. I was also extensively involved in training future buddies. It was during this time period that I completed the American Red Cross course work for certification as an HIV/AIDS educator. In this capacity, I have been a guest speaker in several elementary school and college courses about HIV/AIDS. The

The phone was ringing as I stepped into my house. My mother picked up the phone without realizing she would shortly be sent to her knees. She yelled for me to get into the car and we rushed into the hospital. As hectic as the situation felt, time seemed to pass by very slow in that car. We finally arrived to the hospital to find my father nervously talking to the doctor. I learned that my brother had been brutally beaten up by a couple of teenagers on his way home from school and, as a result, had lost most of his teeth.

By this document I, DANIELLE M. MOORE, of 13317 Wyngate Point, San Diego, California 92130, intend to create an advance health care directive under California Probate Code Section 4600 and following. This advance directive shall not be affected by my subsequent incapacity. All references herein to “my agent” refer to the agent acting at the pertinent time.

My most recent role was working at EPCOR Water Canada (Rossdale water treatment plant) as a Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) intern, where I reported to the Senior Manager for Health and Safety. The business unit (BU) was going through a management change (creation of a Director for HSE position, Global Harmonization System (GHS) transition, changes in key elements of the management system, and cultural change to reduce Total Recordable Injury Rates). I was hired as an intern to develop and implement a pilot plan for key safety initiatives related to these changes.

Sanitation service was to include sidewalk and curb sweeping, as well as emptying and bagging litter baskets. The security program was to supplement the existing police force and address the needs of the merchants, property owners and residents of the area. Overall the BID was to create “cleaner and safer environment to attract businesses and help them thrive” (District Plan).

In the last two years I have continued to learn about public health both through coursework and work in the field. To gain field experience, I completed a 400 hour internship position that allowed me to apply all of the theoretical knowledge into actual problem solving situations. The Louisiana Pregnancy Risk Assessment Management System (LaPRAMS) challenged me to solve a range of public health issues in innovative ways. The program focused on reducing infant morbidity and mortality by impacting maternal and child health programs, policies, and maternal behaviors during pregnancy and early infancy. As a data manager my duties included integrating data, assisting in surveillance operations, and research. My largest project was spearheading the questionnaire re-design to increase response rates. This project molded my skills for incorporating principles and approaches of epidemiology, program evaluation, and social marketing. Because of our hard work we created an engaging brochure and questionnaire that resulted in increasing our response by almost

I welcome all EIS posts and am flexible with regards to the topical area and the geographic location of the assignment. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to have diverse work and volunteer experiences, both abroad and within the United States. These opportunities have given me a profound appreciation for the interdisciplinary nature of public health. During the course of my career and education, I have provided primary and urgent medical services for communities without insurance; traveled to Sweden to conduct qualitative research aimed at improving chronic cancer pain; developed community outreach materials

One of my first introductions to the public health arena came from my volunteer work in the field with the Civic Ottawa Hospital over the summer of 2015. I worked with the Civic Family Health Team as a
