I was intrigued by the way that
everyone's mind works and how our
different experiences in life really
contribute to our personality and
overall psychological development my
name is Mikkel and I'm a health educator
there are many ways to become a health
educator the route that I took was
studying psychology and undergrad and at
that time my focus was sexual health
education I did a lot of HIV testing and
counseling talking with people about
sexual health risk and that was the bulk
of your career I was working with young
people who were in the juvenile justice
system talking about HIV as well as teen
pregnancy prevention that required me
traveling around the city and talking to
small groups of youth
I then relocated to the Bay Area and
began working with homeless and
marginally housed you I work at a
university the environment changes day
to day there's a lot to do when you talk
about working with students when you
talk about health and wellness there are
people coming from many different walks
of life the collegiate experience was
different for everything here I talk
with students a lot about stress stress
management and balancing health and
wellness with the student life oh well I
came in for doctor deployment and we
were talking about how I have
even with preferences I think health or
public health can be really important
subjects to take also psychology which I
took in high school can really help you
understand a little bit more about how
the human brain works and how that
impacts our behaviors which is important
when you realize that every person
interprets their health differently I
love that every day is different and
that I get to interact with so many
different types of people
and the bonus for me is when people have
a breakthrough health-wise so when they
can learn a new skill or find out about
a new resource that can really help to
improve their life and how that is a
great day for me
