Tell me about why you chose to become a community health worker and what it has meant to serve the DIP-IN communities.
I decided to become a community health worker to serve and educate people about their wellness. Speaking to individuals about the significance of their health and providing them with tools and resources to empower a healthier lifestyle gives me a sense of making a difference.
What are you looking forward to most when it comes to working on DIP-IN?
I look forward to residents becoming more aware of their resources and fully utilizing them; for residents to feel empowered to take control of their wellness, as well as assisting those around them. I hope to see more residents proactively advocating for change in their neighborhoods.
