I envision my future career after I graduate from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with my Master’s degree as one that works within a community at a local or state level as a Certified Health Education Specialist manager in a hospital or public/community based health agency. My main focus would be to support, monitor and improve health programs and services for diverse populations. This would be done by supervising, communicating, and implementing education to individuals and groups that allow them to develop the skills and tool set to maintain healthy lifestyle habits, while increasing positive feelings toward fitness and nutrition that ultimately leads to a better quality of life. In order for this vision to occur I must understand and achieve various areas of responsibilities and competencies. The main competencies that will be discussed are as follows: Community Health Assessment, Applied Program Planning, Community Health Evaluation, Application of the Social Ecological Model, and Public Health Statistics.
