Yeah.

So I started actually reaching out pretty early on 'cause I knew, like, from the get-go that community health was my space, and that's where I wanted to be.

So I started reaching out to, like, mentors that I knew were well-established in the area and faculty at Stanford who were trusted by the community and had connections with community partners and organizations, and start, like, just simple meetings of like, "Hey, this is the area that I'm interested in.

I really wanna be able to do something for the community, whatever they need.

But how do I even find the people?" Dr.

Janine Bruce and Dr. David Chang are the faculty leaders for the scholarly concentration, and they were phenomenal in getting me connected with different community organizations and partners, and I was able to kinda talk to some people.

There were also some students who previously had worked with some of the organizations.

Oh, the hot mess.
