HOPE & Wellness Interns
Spring 2013

I am 22 years old and I have lived in Vista, California all my life with almost all of my extended family. I live with my mother, two younger sisters, my younger brother, and my two cats. I am a graduating senior at CSUSM majoring in Human Development with an emphasis in Counseling Services and a minor in Spanish. When I am not busy being a student I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, at the movie theatre, at the beach, crocheting, or reading a book. I have had many jobs in the food industry, but recently I have become my grandparents’ caregiver. It is a job that is tough and rewarding at the same time. After graduating, I plan on attending a graduate school with a Masters of Public Health Program that will guide me in my goal of becoming a Health Educator. I believe that if people knew better, they would do better. I want to educate and guide the youth in making better choices and choosing a healthier lifestyles. I hope to pursue my career in a different state, preferably Arkansas or Oregon. I am very excited to have the opportunity to be part of the HOPE & Wellness and be able to help my schoolmates develop healthy behaviors and lifestyles choices while learning more about the field of Health Services.  

Hi, I am a third year Human Development major with a minor in Psychology. I love to learn and stay active. I am particularly interested in sexual health and am currently serve as a Peer Lead Educator at the HOPE and Wellness Center. I had a great time interning for the HOPE & Wellness Center last semester and look forward to getting more involved this year. After graduating, I plan to get my master’s degree in Public Health. I am also the Activities Chair for AOII. 

Radley Salamat

My name is Radley Salamat, and I am an undergraduate student at California State University of San Marcos. Currently, I am in my third year and will be graduating this Spring with a major in Human Development with an emphasis of Health Services. I was born in the Philippines but lived most of my life in San Diego, California. I am the youngest of three children. Growing up, I've always looked up to my siblings who influenced me to lead a very active and well rounded lifestyle. I am excited to become part of the HOPE and Wellness Center and to share my enthusiasm for living more than just a healthy life. I believe that providing effective health education on various topics of interest through peer to peer interaction is the way to go. When I have free time away from school, I like to hang out with friends, catch up with the latest news, walk my dogs, and watch my favorite T.V. shows. After graduating from San Marcos, I plan to get my credentials as either a registered dietician or nutritionist. I am eager to grow with, learn from, and help peers in the near future.
