As I conclude my four-month internship with Alanda Health, I am reflecting on an incredible journey that has fueled my deep passion for public and global health. From the moment I discovered Alanda Health on LinkedIn, I knew I wanted to contribute to this organization whose mission aligned so closely with my own and whose work benefits communities across the globe. Fast forward a few months later, I am now proud to say I am officially an Alanda Health Alumna! 🎉 Throughout my internship at Alanda, I had the opportunity to: 🌍 Expand my knowledge and understanding of global and public health concepts 👥 Be mentored on educational avenues and career trajectories 📝 Strengthen my science communication skills 🔍 Work on global project evaluations from start to finish 🤝 Collaborate with a phenomenal and supportive remote team ✨ Assist in the screening and recruitment process for the next Alanda interns I want to extend my deepest thanks to Alanda’s founder and our team leader, Candela Iglesias Chiesa, MPH, PhD, for this amazing opportunity! Your continuous feedback, guidance, and words of wisdom have been invaluable. I am truly grateful for the experiences and skills I’ve developed at Alanda and look forward to implementing them in the next chapter of my journey in the field of public and global health! I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to Julius Okanta and Sabine Donders for their unwavering support throughout this internship. Through our onboarding sessions and weekly meetings, I have gained valuable skills in project management and teamwork and have had my first experience working remotely with a global team! Lastly, a huge thank you to my fellow intern, Natalie Bauman! I am very fortunate to have had you as an intern partner and am proud of everything we accomplished together during our internship! Thank you to everyone at Alanda Health for making this such a rewarding and enjoyable experience. I am truly humbled to have had this opportunity and am excited to see the company grow and continue to make a positive impact in the global community! 🚀✨
