“I chose the Health Promotion and Education concentration because of my background in environmental health. Pursuing this concentration has benefitted my career in ways that are broad and far reaching. Gaining the skills and knowledge to lead and manage projects, communicate effectively to all audiences, and understand how the social determinants of health uniquely impact our communities has not only opened doors in my career, but instilled the confidence to take on any challenge that comes my way.”
