LHSI Intern Ambassador
(2019-2021) (Senior ambassador 2020-21)
I worked with over 72 interns to help them throughout their internship. I attended expos and fairs to promote the program, managed the interns, and gained professional skills while working with the director.
​
I wanted to become an ambassador to help mentor interns in the program to become professionals. I hoped to help the program run as smooth as possible while also innovating in new ways.
​
I learned how to become a great leader and speaker during my first year as an ambassador. I plan to use these skills in my future career as a health leader and educator.
​
For my work as an ambassador I was an IUPUI Student Employee Award Ceremony Honorable Mention in Spring 2020.
