My experience with the RLHPF, which matched me to the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), gave me the opportunity to transform data and information into program and policy recommendations for public health and environmental justice leaders. Prior to the fellowship program, I had little experience with applying health policy in a real-world setting, so the opportunity was incredibly rewarding and worthwhile for me. My work at SCAG played an enormous role in helping me obtain my current position as a Health Program Analyst II with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health because I demonstrated my ability to transform existing research and data into meaningful recommendations for city and community leaders to reference and utilize when implementing interventional programs for their local jurisdictions. One of the most important lessons I learned from this fellowship is that any kind of work you do in the public health field is interconnected, and I’m grateful that the RLHPF encouraged me to explore different opportunities to enhance and expand my skills.
