If I could have changed one thing it would have been to not have to work another job so I could have spent more consecutive hours interning. My usual schedule was two or three hours in the morning broken up by either class or work and sometimes I would have to leave early in the day to go to work. I missed out on some meetings and events that I would have liked to attend but I had to leave for work. - How this internship impacted my career
Before this internship I never really thought about they safety side of health and wellness. Looking back on my experience with St. Louis County Safety and Risk Management I realize that preventing injury and illness is a very important part of health. I learned a lot about what to look for when working with employees to help them prevent injury. I have recently been looking into getting my masters in Environmental Health and Safety as well.
Maximizing the potential of St. Louis County employees while providing them with a safe and healthful workplace.
