Dear list members,
I am looking for internships in Seattle as part of my requirements for my
Masters in Public Health program. I am looking to settle in Seattle after I
graduate in June 2002 which is why I would like to do an
internship in the area this summer. I am looking for something in women or
children's health area and/or with an organization that does work on behalf
of people with disabilities. I am particularly interested in development
director type positions. I am also interested in issues related to
marketing and how people with disabilities are portrayed in mainstream
media.
I have experience in events planning (organized a disability issues related
conference at Portland State University spring 2000), Fundraising, ADA
compliance, and governmental relations.
I went ahead and pasted a copy of my resume below. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Anne Cohen
