JPHMP Direct Podcast Features MPH Alumna, Natasha Hansen
Saint Louis University Master of Public Health alumna Natasha Hansen was interviewed by JPHMP in a Public Health Perspectives podcast.
The Journal of Public Health Management and Practice (JPHMP) presents Public Health Perspectives, a podcast series targeted towards strengthening the future public health workforce. It explores the narratives of public health care professionals and gains insight on career paths that shape the profession.
In this episode of Public Health Perspectives, Natasha Hansen, M.P.H. talks about her internship experience for the PAHO/WHO Guatemala Country Office. During the internship, she not only participated in meetings and workshops to improve health throughout the region, but she also wrote a CERF emergency fund grant. As she is fluent in Spanish, she worked closely with (and served as a translator for) Dr. Peter Baxter, a specialist focusing on the health impacts of volcanic eruptions. Additionally, she aided in evaluation planning activities for a rabies vaccination campaign.
