Intern Spotlight: Kari Li

6/4/2016

Comments

 
Hello! I’m Kari the summer intern at Mower Refreshed. It has been
about a month since I moved to Austin and started this new role in
community engagement.

• What have I learned in this past month?
Well, I feel like I have gotten more hands on experience working
with community engagement in this past month than in the last 4
years of college. While I was getting ready to launch my first event
called, Family Kitchen Connection, I learned that if you find yourself
getting too caught up in program planning and try to do too much too fast, you have to take a step back and remind yourself of the purpose.

So while facilitating a conversation at an English Language Learner (ELL) class in the Austin Public School’s Community Learning Center, it wasn’t a
surprise when similar questions began to be raised.

​When exploring what determines our individual health status there are key components at play. These are called health determinants and there has been much research on not only what makes up the determinants but also to what extent do each of the determinants impact yours and my
health. Common categories identified as determinants, those things that determine our wellness, are genetics: the DNA we were born
with, behaviors: what we do or don’t do, social: our relationships and connectedness,  environments: physical spaces we spend time in, and health care: our interactions with our care
provider.
