Statement of Intent

The global burden of disease, including infectious diseases like HIV/AIDs, has

considerably impacted the efficiency of the public health sectors in many countries. Therefore,

my intent to pursue a master’s degree in Public Health aims at making the necessary changes to

the poor policy development in public health. I have a bachelor’s degree in Nutrition, and I have

previously worked as a nutritionist in Jordan, my country of origin. On moving to Canada, I

volunteered at Erinoak kid’s center for kids with special needs. However, I did not get the chance

to work since I am a single mother of two. My father is a doctor (surgeon), and I have always

been surrounded by a medical environment. Thus, that is the reason why I am interested in the

public health field. The main reason why I am interest in this program is to become a public

health practitioner and be able to provide for my two children.

My master’s degree in public health will facilitate my career aspiration in different ways.

On completion of the master’s program, I will have the capacity to practice in a wide range of

areas, which include public policy, public works and the healthcare industry. Significantly, my

aspirations to help in disease prevention and surveillance is in alignment with this master’s

program, as I will play a pivotal role in disease prevention as opposed to treatment. Additionally,

I will seek to work in a planning department of an important institution such as a hospital.

Henceforth, this opportunity will place me a position to influence strategy formulation, product

planning and promotion. Such a role will be critical to the accumulation of experience in the

healthcare sector and development of strategies to improve population health. I believe the

master’s degree in addition to my degree in nutrition will improve livelihoods and reduce the

global burden of disease. My reasons for choosing the MPH program at your school is because it

fits my circumstances since the program is online based. Therefore, it will be perfect for me to

improve myself by obtaining a master’s degree while also managing my other responsibilities.

Different education, work, and life experiences brought me to the decision to apply to the

MPH program. While working as a nutritionist, I have the necessary work experience with

enhanced knowledge of creating and monitoring comprehensive diets to deal with a variety of

health-related issues. I have realized various accomplishments in my career as a nutritionist,

especially when dealing with autism. Foremost, I have assisted in training in autism therapist

sessions and family resource center department at Erin Oak Kids center. Secondly, I have helped

in material preparation for the autism and speech therapy departments. Notably, I have a son

with autism. Therefore, I believe that health education is important for a mother to understand

and deal with her children in a proper way. That is the reason why I am encouraged to be in the

public health sector.

My various experiences as a nutritionist are as follows. Foremost, I have assisted patients

to maintain a healthy diet to achieve an optimal body weight by losing and gaining weight.

Secondly, I have solved clients’ health problems by counselling and set an appropriate diet plan

for each client which resulted in reducing high blood pressure, cholesterol and complications for

diabetes. Thirdly, I have been tasked with the role of ensuring that cleanliness rules are being

followed by the kitchen staff. Other work experiences include helping in the management of a

nutritional program in the hospital, controlling activity regarding food service to the patients, and

worked with the doctors in preparation for the patient food menus. Furthermore, I have

calculated patients' nutritional requirements using standard equations based on assessments of

blood chemistry, stress, mobility and other relevant factors. I have also analyzed patients’ dietary

needs, making plans accordingly for proper nutrition of clients belonging to gyms. My

profession has also enabled me to work hand in hand with physicians and other health care

personnel to determine nutritional needs and dietary restriction, such as low fat or low sodium

Nutritionist. Finally, I have advised patients with dietary-related disorders on the practical ways

in which they can improve their health by adopting healthier eating habits.

My educational experience involves the successful completion of my bachelor’s degree

in nutrition at Petra University, Jordan in 2004. I also have an Education & Professional

Development Upgrading Certificate from the University of Guelph. Due to my qualifications, I

have previously worked as a Dietician in a cardiology clinic and an event organizer in Jordan. In

Canada, I have had my internship at Staples Advantage from 2014 to 2015. I am glad that I got

the opportunity to volunteer at the peel region public health sector and hopefully start working

once I got the chance. By volunteering at this sector, I have managed to attain enough experience

and knowledge in public health. Thus, my master’s degree will complement this experience and

equip with the skills to solve various public health problems.

Having been raised in a health-related environment, the core reason why I am interested

in the MPH program. I believe that different people have different health needs, and as a public

health practitioner, I will be able to address various health needs in populations. My interest in

health education and the promotion of the well-being of children is my greatest aspiration as a

mother. Based on your school’s reputation, I am sure that I will attain both practical and

theoretical experience as a public health professional. My current experience as a nutritionist

added to the necessary knowledge in public health will help me improve the health of

populations. I, therefore, look forward to realizing my career aspiration given the opportunity to

study in your institution.
