How did the NDSU MPH prepare you for the workforce? 

Through the NDSU MPH program, I learned foundational skills in several areas, including epidemiology, intervention design, and infectious disease. I always knew I wanted a career in communications, but the MPH program solidified that health communications was the right professional space for me. The program pushed my boundaries for what I thought I could learn, do, and be.
