KristinaKnight

Hello all –

My name is Kristina Knight and I am participating in this course as a primer to beginning my dissertation. It is not required, but I am forcing myself to make a decision and begin the process of becoming better prepared for and more aware of the process toward the completion of my dissertation. I began my coursework more than 2 years ago, and have relied on a great network of friends and family, pottery, and travel to help me maintain some semblance of balance. I am currently the Director of Community Initiatives, Assistant Program Director, and Adjunct Instructor for the Master of Public Health Program at Case Western Reserve University. I am also a doctoral student in Health Education and Promotion with one year of coursework remaining. My area of interest is adolescent health and as an aunt of 7 I am in constant awe of the challenges faced by and resiliency of our youth.
