My name is Pauline Ongolea and I am current intern of the Assuaged Foundation as a Public Health Intern. I am attending San Jose State Univertisty to obtain my Bachelor in Science in Public Health with a minor in Child and Adolescent Development. 

I have been in college since the fall of 2020 right after graduating high school in the spring of 2020. It has a been a long journey since, and I've found a passion in public health and child and adolescent development. I've learned that I want my future career to consist of contributing to the public health community. I want to help educate the public regarding their health through multiple perspectives. I also want to learn how I can help improve the health system too. I believe this internship is a great step in preparing myself to pursue my future career in public health.
