Itsamar is part of the TRIO Student Support Services program at Clatsop Community College. TRIO SSS supports first generation, low income, or disabled students reach college goals. On track to graduate with a transfer degree from Clatsop in 2020, Itsamar plans to pursue a Bachelor’s in Public Health at Pacific University. While there, she plans to prepare to professional graduate studies in physical or occupational therapy.
When asked what this opportunity means to her, Itsamar commented, “this internship opportunity will help me strengthen my science base and provide an opportunity to connect with my peers pursuing healthcare careers. I anticipate the relationships I build through this experience will continue to grow beyond the internship and provide a source of strength as I grow into my professional role.” Additionally, when asked what she would say to younger students with college & career goals, she stated, “do not doubt yourself, even when you think that is not for you or you can’t do it, just go for the opportunities and take the risk!”
Her Student Support Services advisor, Amy Magnussen, assisted Itsamar apply for Summer Health Professions Education Program. Magnussen was thrilled Itsamar was selected for this esteemed opportunity at Columbia. “After we first spoke about the program, Itsamar fearlessly dove into the application process. She is focused student who was determined to make this dream a reality. Her attention to the application process and dedication to telling her story clearly made an impact. She will join her peers in NYC this summer and continue along her path to becoming a health professional.”
