My time at The Body Agency allowed me to meet passionate individuals who are making a difference in women’s health and also to explore topics both which I care about and find new areas of interest. I was able to grow my skills in communication by learning how to promote women’s health products and also how to share health topics.
Some of my favorite moments throughout my fellowship included our weekly team meetings where I learned about the different initiatives which The Body Agency was working on and preparing to launch. In my first few weeks I was able to help with a fundraiser which was thrown in partnership with Equinox in order to raise funds for dignity kits for Ukrainian refugees. It was great to see the work which Kate Roberts, the company’s CEO, and the rest of her team had been putting their time into come to fruition. I would highly recommend a fellowship to all students. They are a great opportunity to grow your professional network and also gain experience on what a job in the public health field looks like.
