Abstract
My journey with the Global Health Equity (GHE) internship program through the SASAH experiential learning program has been a transformative experience. This presentation encapsulates an exploration of the four years I have spent at the placement, outlining the evolution of skills, collaborations, and impactful projects that have strengthened my academic development and career aspirations. The presentation starts with a reflective introduction on my initial anxiety about entering the GHE internship, ultimately highlighting the meeting of interests between diplomacy, global affairs, and journalism with the internship’s focus on global health equity. I highlight pivotal encounters with mentors, colleagues, staff, and experts, that have supported me. I also explain how I have overcome obstacles and adapted to situations. I explain the importance of my experiences, from curating impactful projects like the COVID-19 video time capsules to orchestrating the annual Power and Global Health Day. The presentation explores my skill development journey, emphasizing how organizing events, overseeing blog competitions, and curating the GHE website have strengthened my organizational, communication, and critical thinking skills. The insights, lessons, and value I have gained from this journey translate into my future academic pursuits in International Relations and roles in global affairs and journalism. The presentation ends with how each task I completed has developed my skills, offering a compelling backing for the GHE internship's interdisciplinary enrichment and SASAH’s experiential learning program.
