We are thrilled to announce that Karsen DeWeese, an MPH student at Kansas State University, is completing an internship at the Journal of Public Health Management and Practice. Karsen brings a wealth of communications experience with her from a prior internship with our friends at the Kansas Health Institute. On top of that, she recently successfully defended her dissertation and completed a graduate certificate in strategic health communications. 

This week, as we celebrate National Public Health Week, we're delighted to amplify one of the voices of public health by sharing a podcast where Karsen shares her experiences and insights into public health communications.
