Shea’s Answer

I have always had a strong interest in the body, and Eastern Medicine. Massage Therapy was just a step in the right direction. My career continued to blossom, and to help so many people.

Dr’s Answer

Hi Alexis!
Honestly, starting a public health career isn’t always as clear-cut as it seems on paper. A lot of us just stumble into it through life, maybe by seeing health issues in our own communities or realizing we care more about people than we first thought. Schools don’t really tell you how broad public health is, like, it’s not just doctors and policies, it’s also clean water, food safety, mental health, education, and even how cities are built.
I can tell you for some it started with volunteering and seeing what wasn’t working around them. they didn’t have a perfect plan, just curiosity and the guts to step into uncomfortable spaces. And one big thing people don’t talk about is that It takes time to find your lane. And that’s okay.

Hope this helped. Feel free to reach out if you got more questions. Wishing you all the best bud.
