I am interested in exploring how desensitized some practitioners become in medicine and how that affects treatment and the emotional state of practitioners. I do not know too much, but from my year and a half of experience in medicine, as a medical assistant for a surgeon, I have started to see how sometimes IContinue reading “Final Post”

Stories In The Media
One issue that has really hot and stuck me like most political issues is the ruling of Roe vs Wade. Rather than most women banding to protect our own rights I have seen almost this battle over social media of competing views. It hurts to see this in our community and I think most peopleContinue reading “Stories In The Media”
Capping Off My Summer
My area of interest was, in broad terms, learning more about how emergency management works within a community or a region. Specifically, I went into the summer interested in how high risk communities were impacted. I knew very little about the subject as it was something that is not emphasized in school or readily availableContinue reading “Capping Off My Summer”
My Capstone Project
For my Capstone, I decided to study access to healthcare in Peru. While I have been at FSU, I have grown a strong interest in learning about how people access healthcare and what barriers or facilitators they encounter while doing so. I spent five weeks this summer in Cusco, Peru, volunteering at a shelter forContinue reading “My Capstone Project”
Final Blog
My interest started with dance and how I can bring my passion for dance into my summer experience. Then when I resorted to kinesthetic learning approaches while teaching, I wanted to explore the ways movement benefits not just physical health, but overall cognitive, social/emotional well-being as well. Previously, I knew from studying mental disorders likeContinue reading “Final Blog”
Summary of My Capstone
For my capstone, my interest was how caseworkers approach helping refugees. Refugees often arrive at their resettlement location with trauma and a complicated past. Therefore, it is essential that caseworkers take certain measures to help refugees based on their unique situation. This Summer, I interned at the International Rescue Committee, where I learned extensively aboutContinue reading “Summary of My Capstone”
Cool Summer Experience (not clickbait)
This summer has been interesting to say the least. One of the best and worst parts about it is that I am able to be at home all the time. There is no need to learn a new language or find housing, but I also have to deal with my parents and their schedule allContinue reading “Cool Summer Experience (not clickbait)”
Farwell Post
My experiences this summer have shaped my perspective on public health within different communities around the country. My first experience centered around the pandemic affecting the farmworker communities and how we need to have better regulations to ensure they do not get this involved in the next pandemic. The interviews I conducted helped show meContinue reading “Farwell Post”
Is it “Everyone” or “Everyone you like”?
Something that I have found interesting in my summer experience is the relationship between emergency planning and the student demographic. When emergency planners consider a population, they look at the populations by demographics. This causes categories of people to be treated as one group for simplicity’s sake. Elderly are a high focus demographic, along withContinue reading “Is it “Everyone” or “Everyone you like”?”
Solidarity at Horizons at Norwood
Within the Horizons community at Norwood, “solidarity” is seen as us (the volunteers, teachers, site directors, teacher assistants, and program assistant) providing the students with a safe place to spend their summer while also improving on their academic skills. Through the actions we do like helping kids in class or just talking with them andContinue reading “Solidarity at Horizons at Norwood”
