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.

ELP Experience: Roshini Selvakumar (Fall 2025)

Much of my work focused on translating public health topics into communication-focused content, such as sharing strategies for addressing vaccine myths and highlighting elements of diabetes awareness campaigns. Through these projects, I learned how to tailor messaging not only to educate but also to support other professionals in effectively communicating health information. Roshini Selvakumar. Experiential Learning Program Intern, Fall 2025.

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.

The new knowledge I gained was really seeing how we can make social media platforms more informative, so they can start serving as both educational tools and entertainment. Susan Karoubi. Experiential Learning Program Intern, Fall 2024.

Tell us about you…

​I’m Susan Karoubi, and I will be graduating in May 2025 from the University of Arizona in the College of Public Health with an M.P.H. in Health Behavior Health Promotion. I decided to participate in the Experiential Learning Program after following Let’s Talk Public Health on LinkedIn and Instagram over the summer of 2024, while researching sites where I could complete my internship. I could see the importance and joy in being able to combine public health information with graphic design and marketing, and being able to provide the general public with the reasons why public health is so important!

LTPH Experiential Learning Program Experience. I learned how to apply concepts that I’d learned in school. By this, I mean I learned what cultural competency actually looked like in practice and what plain language looked like in practice. I learned how to use my voice to make messaging more engaging for the audience. Melissa Goetz. Experiential Learning Program Intern, Summer 2024.

Tell us about you…

​I’m Melissa Goetz, and I graduated in December from Eastern Illinois University with a B.S. in Health Communications. I knew I wanted to participate in the Experiential Learning Program at LTPH after following them on LinkedIn and Instagram for about six months. I could see the value in providing Public Health professionals with much needed tools to communicate complex issues to the general public. I  knew that I not only wanted to be a part of that but also take what I had been learning in my coursework and see how that applies in the real world.

LTPH Experiential Learning Program Experience. Through this experience, I developed valuable skills in public health research and marketing. At first, analyzing scientific journals and research papers was difficult, but the more I read, the better I understood how to interpret and apply research findings. I also learned a lot about current public health issues that directly impact both myself and my community. Ojasvi Joshi. Experiential Learning Program Intern, Summer 2024.

Tell us about you…

My name is Ojasvi Joshi, and I am a sophomore at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, majoring in Business Administration with a focus on Healthcare. I was drawn to the Experiential Learning Program (ELP) because of its unique approach to advising professionals on effective communication strategies while incorporating diverse perspectives and outlooks. This program also introduced me to an aspect of healthcare I had not previously explored.
