Global HealthShare Initiative - UC Davis | I wrote a communication strategy for multi-modal channels and outreach options to help GHS share their vision, find new members and partners, and show the world their contribution to health reform:
"Dena has proven herself to be self-motivated, eager to apply herself to the causes she is passionate about... she has shown a continued dedication as a volunteer of the GHS team... Her project at GHS was to prepare a communication strategy for multiple channels and outreach and she did an excellent job to articulate that in written format... Dena has established herself as an independent thinker, I read some of the narrative she authored and it looks impressive. Her ability to understand and assess complex issues in public health, with a focus on addressing health disparities, demonstrates her intellectual strength and ongoing awareness of current developments in the field. All of these attributes are indicative of her sustained interest in communications and public health at the global level..." ~ The Director and Managing Director, The NCMHD Center of Excellence for Nutritional Genomics & GHS Members
