What is one of your favorite memories from your program?

My favorite memory from my program was the willingness of the professors to provide help when needed.

PM528 Program Design and Evaluation because it allowed me to know how to design my own program which I think is very valuable.

It is not easy, especially if you have children like I did, but it is very manageable and it will be worth it at the end.

Tulare Public Health: I learned how to use all of my knowledge from this program and apply it in my internship.
