Hanna Butler is currently in her first year at the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health obtaining her Master’s in Public Health. Upon completion of her master’s degree, Hanna intends to work with community-based programs.
Hanna’s advice to future applicants is “Just apply! I had no background knowledge on Native health or Native public health, but during this internship I learned so much and will carry it forward with me into my public health career.”
During the internship, Hanna appreciated building the relationship with her mentor and working with like-minded interns across the country. She enjoyed exploring a new topic of Native American public health. Also, a great highlight was traveling to the CDC Showcase in Atlanta, GA and presenting her research project.
