UC Berkeley Grad Balances Public Health RolesContinued from page 1Then he added a second role as RxSafeMarin’s naloxone outreach coordinator.(Naloxone is a medication designed toquickly reverse opioid overdoses.)“There was a lot of pivoting I neededto do to juggle different roles,” he said,“but with the support of the stateDepartment of Public Health, UCSF,and my supervisors in Marin CountyI was able to handle my roles.”Luis had to learn quickly while “navigating a career as a person of color ina predominantly white public healthfield. All these struggles I overcame bycommunicating,” he said. “Through allthe learning moments, the most valuablewere to keep transparency and integritywith everyone I work with so that weare all respectful and acknowledge ourboundaries.”Public Health Division Director KathyKoblick is Luis’s staff supervisor andhas nothing but praise for his work.“Luis has been a great addition to ourstaff,” she said. “I am delighted to beable to have important assignments forLuis that allow him to gain experienceand insight into what Public Healthis responsible for in our communities.He has a positive attitude and has beenwilling to jump into unknown territoryand learn how to navigate some complexsystems.”For Luis, delivering an opioid awareness presentation to Terra Linda HighSchool students whose primary languageis Spanish has been his most memorable event so far. A teen asked for adviceon how to stop drug use among friendsand family, and “this was the momentI knew we had built a rapport with thestudents,” he said. “It was an opportunityto let them know we must be patientand gentle with ourselves and those whouse substances because there is alwayssupport around them.”He added, “Growing up, I did not haveseparate assemblies for those who spokeSpanish. Being the person giving suchpresentations felt rewarding.”As he continues with his trainee program, Luis looks forward to new projectsand exploring areas of public health suchas epidemiology, sexual health, and more.He then plans to return to school for amaster’s degree in public health.When not working, Luis enjoys a varietyof activities, most notably dancing andhiking. “I join salsa or bachata events,immerse myself at disco nights, or simply explore new music.”Volunteer’s Emergency Skills Boost County’s Covid ResponseHe was steered to HHS VaccineBranch Coordinator Dick Daley,who was quick to recognizeGrant’s skills: “He has the keenability to reflect on operationsand implement valuable processimprovements to enhance vaccinedelivery.
