      Entry Level

      "As it has been for many years, tobacco usage is one of the leading causes of health issues and disease in the United States. My dream of going into health education was to end up working in a university setting. If I were to have the opportunity to work here, tobacco prevention and cessation would be one of my biggest priorities. I watched the habit cause the death of my grandfather, and I'm very passionate about prevention."

      Answer Example

      "Our local elementary school requested I come down to speak to the kids about healthy eating. Having school-aged children myself, I really took this project to heart. I worked with the school over a six-month period of time to get healthier food in the school lunch program. Healthy eating habits are formed at a very young age and, unfortunately, many parents today take easy shortcuts to feed their children, and these shortcuts are more often than not an unhealthy choice."

      "In my years in this field, I have noticed that poor health choice trends have changed over time due to lifestyle choices. In my current role, working with a very diverse population in a varying age range, the common theme that I see today is a lack of exercise and overall fitness among people due to advancements in technology. Rather than playing outside, kids are glued to televisions or tablets, and adults are really no better. I have developed a program called Get Offline and Get Outside that focuses on the wonders of being in nature and the health effects that doing so can provide to people. This program has received many accolades from people that have dedicated more time to staying off their phones and getting outside to see nature."
