Paige Zaitlin, MISPH, MPH '19
Where was your internship located?
Mercy Corps, Timor-Leste
What were your major tasks or projects?
I developed a CDA monitoring tool using Ona, a free survey software that can be used on tablets even without internet access. To go along with the new tool, I developed a training module for Mercy Corps staff to use when teaching field staff how to use the tool. I also developed a facilitator’s guide for using the training module.
