INVOLVEMENT/ EXTRACURRICULARS
School Health Interdisciplinary Program (SHIP)
The purpose of this program is to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors to children. I am a member and a volunteer at one of Alachua County's elementary schools. The thing I like most about this program is that it tackles important areas that children should know about. Also, the topics and activities are tailored to their ages so they can understand. Additionally, multiple children have told me that they look forward to the SHIP volunteers coming to their school. It is really nice to spend time helping children when they enjoy your prescence.
Eta Sigma Gamma (ESG)
The purpose of ESG is to promote the professional development of health education students on campus and in the Gainesville community. It is a close knit group of students who are majoring in the same area, Health Education and Behavior. I am a future member of this organization. The current virus and personal matters interfered in my abilities to join, but I will be joining ESG in the fall. I really like the idea that everyone in the organization is in the same major so I am able to meet new people who have the same interests as me.
