In this episode of the JYU for YOU podcast, we are joined by Iida Akselin – a health sciences student with a specialization in health promotion.
Iida shares with us her story of how she ended up coming to Jyväskylä from Oulu; originally with the intention to pursue a degree in psychology. While she wasn’t able to make it into the psychology programme, Iida fell in love with Jyväskylä at first sight and decided to move to the city and find her path! A year into living in Jyväskylä, Iida found herself in the unique programme of the Faculty of Sports and Health Sciences.
Her desire to grow professionally and work in communication and marketing for health promotion led her naturally to JYU.Well: the umbrella organization at JYU that acts as a networking hub for staff, students and scientists to come together and approach wellbeing in a holistic manner. Through her summer internship in 2024, as well as her current work with JYU.Well, she developed her ability to work in a multidisciplinary environment and to create engaging, as well as relevant content informed by research, for a broad audience.
Want to hear Iida’s full story: then check out the episode!
Are you a fellow student who wants to follow in her footsteps and help shape wellbeing at JYU? Then apply to the JYU.Well summer internship. Be quick: the deadline is April 22nd!
