ALT Hello Y4P community! It has been awhile! Y4P has been busy, and continues to tread forward even more so in these uncertain times. We have so much planned and cannot wait to share. We wanted to highlight some of the many wonderful individuals on our team helping us achieve our mission. Today we spotlight, Saron. Saron Araya graduated from Oglethorpe University in 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Public Health. Coming from a family of refugees and immigrants, her passions stand to address health equity and bridging knowledge gaps prevalent in underserved communities due to language barriers, high health illiteracy rates, and low socioeconomic statuses. She has been with You4Prevent for 3 years. As a public health intern, some of the projects she facilitated and worked on include directing social media content, sending out weekly health promotion emails, creating animation videos on the 4 pillars of health, and translating health promotion cards into 6 common languages!
