Why I am a Force for Health Member	I am a intern with the Force for Health for this Fall semester. I have a background in fitness and wellness as well as some background in nutrition.

It's important for me to be part of my community's health because...	I live in a community of college aged students who are from a diverse range of backgrounds. This means that I can gather information from different people about their knowledge of health and find the gaps to try and help bridge them. I am surrounded by people who are always looking to gain more knowledge about things they might not be educated on and I can help them in their search for new knowledge.
Some of the strength of my community health factors are:	My community generally work towards bettering themselves and we also have many tools at our disposal to help increase the general health. Many students in my community make time to learn about what resources we have at our disposal and then learn how to utilize them to help themselves or other people.
I believe I can help improve my community's health by...	Helping be a vessel of knowledge. By using what I know to teach other people can help information spread around my community which will in turn help my community in bettering themselves and each other
