Internship Program

HHI Internship Program

Haiti Health Initiative offers unpaid academic internship experiences in editing and in document design to interested high school and college students. This is a great opportunity for students to practice their skills in a real-world work environment that is forgiving and supportive.

Based on their expressed interests and skills, students are assigned individual writing, editing, and design projects. These projects are not practical exercises, but are actual documents and reports HHI needs created and perfected. After a brief feedback and review period, student work is published internally or externally, as the scope of the project permits.

Most work is done remotely to accommodate student schedules.

For further questions about or to express interest in internships with Haiti Health Initiative, contact the current coordinator (listed below).

Current Intern

Samantha Bullock
Editorial Intern
Brigham Young University
Studying English and editing
Graduation: December 2018

Samantha Bullock is a senior at Brigham Young University. She took a semester off last year to pursue her dream of living and working at Walt Disney World in Florida as part of the Disney College Program. It was during her time at Disney that Samantha made several Haitian friends who brought the widespread needs in Haiti to her attention. Besides Disney, some of Samantha’s other great loves in life are reading, hiking, rock climbing, going to the gym, experimenting with vegan cooking and baking, doing jigsaw puzzles, and traveling. Samantha has visited many places, but the one she calls home is Portland, Oregon, where she hopes to move back after graduating.

 

Former Interns

Cara GillespieCara Gillespie
Brigham Young University
Studying English and editing
Graduation: April 2014
Cara Gillespie is a senior at Brigham Young University and lives in a white house with four of her best friends. When she’s not working or studying, Cara enjoys hiking, playing tennis, telling stories, and speaking in accents while lounging on the couch. She is an avid animal lover and can’t wait until she can have her very own dog. After spending the summer on a study abroad hiking through England, Scotland, and Wales, she decided that she loves to travel and she can’t wait until she gets to do it again.
Madeline Greenhalgh
Editorial Intern
Brigham Young University
Studying English language; editing
Graduation: April 2015
Madeline was born in Maine, raised in Kentucky, and currently calls Utah home. Though the dramatic change in landscape was at first difficult to take in, she now loves every bit of Utah and especially loves being a BYU Cougar. In high school, she gained a reputation as a bit of a grammar snob, and once she came to college, she decided to use her compulsion to create parallel structure and insert missing commas for good and become an editor. When she’s not wielding the red pen, she enjoys reading, writing, baking, napping, and spending time with friends and family.

Aimee Hancock, editorial intern

Aimee Hancock
Editorial Intern
Brigham Young University
Studying English language: editing
Graduation: April 2015

Aimee was born and raised in Utah with her sisters, one of which is her twin. They grew up playing sports competitively, something she still loves doing. She is in her third year of college at BYU and proclaims herself a Cougar, dyed in the wool, true blue, through and through. As soon as she set foot on campus, she knew that she wanted to pursue an editing career because her older sister is an editor, and Aimee looks up to her a lot. In her spare time, she likes to nap, cook, read, hike, scrapbook, and play sports, especially volleyball.
