"Modeling the way" is among the powerful leadership styles. As a leader, I value honesty and it is important to me to take initiative, promote good work ethics, and inspire my team to do the same. I believe that one of the best ways to inspire others is to treat them the way they want to be treated. This includes empowering and creating a safe space for them--being impartial, a good listener, trustworthy, open-minded, and supportive, and educating myself on issues that could make me hold biases and prejudices against others.

My Introduction
My name is Elizabeth Corneille. I am an international student from Haiti. I graduated last Spring 2023 with a BA's in Health Science with a focus on women’s health and a minor in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. I am currently working as a health outreach coordinator at IU Health OBGYN and a 2024 Public health candidate at Fairbanks School of Public Health. My role entails mediating between clients and health professionals and maintaining the day-to-day operations of the Program. I am an intersectional feminist, passionate about leadership, women’s rights, human rights, and people’s well-being in general. I value my career greatly and my commitment to my academic responsibilities has allowed me to be both an excellent professional and student and to always keep my grades up. My greatest passion is to go out to underprivileged communities and make a difference in individuals' lives, educate women about infectious diseases and prevention methods, connect families with health resources, and meet people where they are.
Below is a video of my presentation on intersectional feminism which will give you an idea of my passion for gender equality and social change.

My Perspective on Multicultural Leadership and why it is Important to Me
To me multicultural leadership is when you bring awareness and support a cause for social change. It includes expressing your views, pleading, defending, or recommending change for yourself and/or on behalf of others. Additionally, I see it as an act of both advocating and taking action or coming up with real strategies for systemic change. Both advocacy and activism are components of multicultural leadership.
I see myself as a multicultural leader and this is important to me because the leaders promote positive change and social justice. They speak up and raise awareness on issues that predominately affect underprivileged communities and they take intentional actions for long-lasting change.
