Tell us about what you worked on...
During my internship as a Business Development Intern at Let’s Talk Public Health, I gained valuable hands-on experience that strengthened both my technical and strategic skill sets. Throughout the internship, I developed competencies in data management and cleaning, utilized project management tools such as Airtable to support workflow organization, and contributed to RFP and proposal development efforts. These experiences enhanced my understanding of how data, systems, and strategy intersect in a small, mission-driven public health consulting environment.

 Welcome to Let’s Talk Public Health!
If you’re new here, hello. If you’re coming back, it’s good to “see” you again. It feels like there’s no getting around the fact that public health is under attack. At every turn, our advances are being undermined and undone. And I’d be lying if I said it isn’t getting to me. Is it getting to you? Every blow leaves me worn down and short of breath. I’ve been turning to a combination of sun salutations, meditation, pranayama, and working out to stay sane. I’ve also set limits on how much time I spend on social media apps each day to prevent excessive doomscrolling.  The Health Communication Incubator by Let's Talk Public Health is an annual workforce development program designed to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world impact. Each year, we will convene a new cohort of professionals to tackle a specific, timely challenge in the health communication and marketing landscape.

Tell us about you…
My name is Roshini Selvakumar, and I am a senior at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. I was drawn to the Experiential Learning Program (ELP) because it offered a unique opportunity to explore health communications and the critical role it plays in public health and healthcare systems. I was especially interested in learning how complex public health information can be communicated clearly, ethically, and effectively to different audiences. Additionally, I was excited to connect with like-minded individuals who share an interest in public health and communication. My primary goal for the ELP was to gain hands-on experience in health communications while developing skills that would help me better understand how messaging influences public health outcomes.
