Our short-term intern Mario Morales is a PhD candidate from the University of Arizona, in Health Behaviour and Health Promotion Sciences. He brings valuable experience to an impact evaluation project we’re doing with Nature’s Valley Trust and the University of North West. We’re excited to learn from Mario and work with these great partners.
