ABOUT COURTNEY CARLSON
A believer in approaching health from a holistic perspective and recognizing the mind-body connection, I am intrigued by the deep impact daily lifestyle behaviors have on various aspects of our lives (e.g, physical, mental, emotional, social, community, environmental, professional, financial, etc.), the significance of clear and compassionate communication between health educators and patients, and strategies to more effectively communicate relevant health topics to at-risk populations, including appropriately addressing health literacy levels. These interests led me to pursue collegiate studies focused on communication in the corporate and health contexts.With a lifelong passion for empowering individuals and communities to make better lifestyle choices through uniquely tailored communication and engagement strategies, I have gained invaluable insight from my career in the health and wellbeing industry. Understanding the mutual benefits derived by all through effective organizational communication and a solutions-oriented mindset, I have been consistently recognized for making complex projects with tight deadlines a productive experience: I won a company STAR Award for \"exceptional performance\" and two Excellence Awards for representing our Great People and Liberating the Best in People core values. I extract meaning and value from all situations and challenges, continuously identifying opportunities for more streamlined and enhanced processes, and working to bring out the best in everyone.
