Reviews

Contact Tracer and Investigator

June 2020 - August 2020 • Santa Clara, CA

“This experience as a contact tracer and investigator was enlightening and informative. I enjoyed being able to connect with various groups of people to attempt to contain the spread of the COVID-19 disease. It was humbling to hear how everyone was impacted differently by the pandemic, some more so than others. Not only was I able to work on my communication skills, but it also allowed me to gain experience in basic epidemiology by educating others on the disease and updating them on public health safety measures.”
