Presenter: Kevin Liu, Computer Science, Global Public Health Scholars
My practicum project is an externship with the National Center for School Mental Health. While there are many different things I do on a day to day basis, one of the focuses of mine is using data analysis and other technology (as I am a computer science major) to help their department find ways to better improve school Mental Health. I will do tasks such as data transposition, create flyers, research grants and funding for further projects, taking notes from meetings with leaders in school mental health, and etc.
Hi Kevin!
I think it's so interesting that you want to use technology to impact public health! The intersection between computer science and public health is one that isn't talked about. Do you want to continue working in the field of mental health specifically? If not mental health, then what do you want to focus on?
I think that it is so cool that you get to use your love and skill in computer science to contribute to research in the world of mental health! Are you going to continue mixing your passion for public health with computer science?
