My gateway course materials are based off of my experience working in healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic this past year. I work as a caregiver in a home for residents with traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and unfortunately, the home I work in got covid this past year. 

​

In my Why I Write essay I explain how I write for clarity, and how clear communication is a necessity, especially during a pandemic. 

​

In Experiment 1, I take readers along with me in a present-tense account as I hear about some of the other homes getting COVID-19 within the company.

​

In Experiment 2, I create a lesson plan for elementary schoolers learning about COVID-19 to show a lighter but still educational approach to the pandemic.

​

In Experiment 3, I make a simple email communication outline with tips and tricks so no information will be left out. 

​

In my Final Project, I reflect on my time working in the past six months in a long essay memoir to express my opinion on the events of the pandemic.

​

​

Working in this job during the pandemic has heightened my interest in inequities and problems that arise within and around healthcare. In 2023 I will graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Public Health Sciences to try and help remedy situations like this.
