My Unfolding Narrative
Welcome to my corner of the digital world! I am Gianna, a seasoned professional with over nine years of dedicated service in the dynamic realm of public health. Currently, I proudly hold the role of Fellowship Placement Coordinator at the esteemed NYS Public Health Corps Fellowship Program within the NYS Department of Health. My journey has been fueled by an unwavering commitment to fostering a healthier and more vibrant New York State.
In my capacity as a Fellowship Placement Coordinator, I orchestrate the intricate dance of talent and opportunity. I am the driving force behind the NYS Public Health Corps Fellowship Program, a visionary initiative aimed at cultivating and positioning exceptional public health professionals to tackle the ever-evolving health landscape of our state and its diverse communities.
My career is a testament to my multifaceted skill set. I thrive in the realm of office administration, seamlessly weaving together processes and procedures with my innate knack for clear and compelling communication. I am the bridge that links passionate fellows with organizations eager to make a lasting impact. My role transcends mere logistics; it's about guiding and nurturing growth, about providing unwavering support to both individuals and organizations throughout their transformative journey.
But my credentials extend beyond the professional realm. My warm and welcoming demeanor, coupled with my proficiency in both English and Spanish, empowers me to build connections that are as robust as they are authentic. I am a firm believer in the power of relationships, and my ability to foster rapport and trust with stakeholders of varying backgrounds has been an integral cornerstone of my success.
As a passionate advocate for Public Health, I am driven by an unyielding desire to fortify the health and well-being of New Yorkers. I view challenges as opportunities and am ever-eager to embrace new skills and best practices.
