Experience at rotation:  My rotation at Merced County Community Action Agency WIC was very busy.  During my time there, I created a pamphlet on gestational diabetes, created a poster for National Nutrition Month, revised and presented a local resource pamphlet, created a worksite wellness board to present at the California WIC Association conference, facilitated group educations, and counseled high-risk mothers.

How experience helped achieve career goals:  This experience helped me gain leadership skills along with improving my ability to work with a diverse population.
