Erik Michielsen: What informed your decision to return to school and earn your masters of public health at Columbia University?
Gabrielle Lamourelle: So there were a couple things behind my decision to go back to school. I considered it for quite a while before I went. I’m kind of a deliberative person.
I realized that although I had learned a lot of skills on the job that it can be very difficult to get through the door without that advanced degree.
It is a shorthand for the basic skills that you get when you are studying public health. While I may have learned some of them on the job I certainly did not have all of them. And when you are in front of a hiring manager there is no way for me to explain the many interesting and diverse and complicated experiences I have had in a succinct way. So, the MPH is one way to convey that. I also wanted some concrete frameworks to organize a lot of the information I picked up along the way in these different these jobs - Some organizing principles to help me really articulate and also understand how all of these elements fit together and also the pieces I was missing.
