I am honored to have served as a co-editor for the first edition of the ELC RISE magazine because this project has provided an incredible space for co-learning, making connections, and career development. I lacked an outlet where my passion for public health and communication through writing could truly come together. RISE magazine presented a unique opportunity for me to fulfill the need for this kind of outlet and to simultaneously lift up the voices of emerging professionals in the field. Not only was I able to develop my own skills as an editor, but through working closely with several authors, I was also witness to their growth over the course of our collaboration. RISE cemented my commitment to mentorship as I continue in my public health career, and I am proud to be a part of this project.
