The health department is a paid job, which I applied for. I put in about 80 plus hours a month. I am also consulting with organizations here as well as Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area.
9. I’d like to learn more about your involvement in this organization:
First, describe the leadership role that you play.
I have a management role that I play. I supervise a number of programs, and my style is a mentoring role. I support staff in their leadership and help to move the health department into new areas, like chronic disease prevention. I also create partnerships for the health department by providing community service in ways that further the mission of public health.
