Watching interns grow into confident professionals is one of the most rewarding parts of this work. Tellegacy has been fortunate to work with students who bring talent, discipline, curiosity, and heart to the table, and I am especially proud of what I have seen in this season of mentorship and professional development.
I am excited to share that Samuella Ofori Amanfo will be presenting at the Middle Tennessee State University Master of Science in Professional Science Internship Presentations on Thursday, April 30, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in SCI 1003 in the Science Building. Samuella is scheduled in the 9:00 a.m. session in Health Care Informatics, with Jeremy C. Holloway, Tellegacy, LLC listed as her internship supervisor. The schedule also notes that the event takes place on study day, so parking permits are not required.
Samuella represents the kind of emerging professional who brings both substance and promise to the field. She is a Master of Science in Professional Science student in Healthcare Informatics at Middle Tennessee State University, expected to graduate in May 2026. Her background includes research assistance in healthcare informatics at MTSU, health information management experience with attention to accuracy and completeness of patient records, along with administrative and academic support experience that reflects strong organization, communication, and follow-through. Her resume also highlights strengths in healthcare data management, research support, documentation, and team collaboration.
One of the strengths I have appreciated in Samuella is her ability to work across perspectives and contribute within a collaborative environment. During her time connected with Tellegacy, she worked alongside Loveth Johnson and Corey Farrow, which added a valuable interdisciplinary layer to the learning experience. Samuella’s informatics and research-oriented background paired well with Loveth’s public health, health education, and community-based program experience, as well as Corey’s strengths in project management, operations, workflow organization, and cross-team coordination. Collaboration across different training backgrounds is part of what helps students learn how to communicate clearly, solve problems well, and function in the kind of real-world teams they will encounter long after graduation.
Loveth brings a strong public health and community engagement lens. Her experience includes health education, quality improvement support, health profession pipeline programming, community outreach, and collaboration with health professionals through AHEC and other community-based roles. Her work reflects a strong understanding of prevention, communication, and program support in health-related settings.
Corey brings a different but equally valuable dimension. His experience includes project management, logistics, workflow optimization, milestone tracking, documentation, and cross-team communication. He has managed schedules, coordinated teams, improved processes, and supported operations in ways that mirror many of the organizational demands found in growing mission-driven programs.
Seeing interns with different strengths learn from one another is part of what makes applied experience so valuable. Professional formation rarely happens in isolation. Growth becomes stronger when students learn how to contribute their own expertise while also understanding how other disciplines think, communicate, organize, and lead. Samuella’s upcoming presentation is meaningful in part because it reflects more than a completed semester. It reflects development, teamwork, maturity, and readiness.
I am also grateful to the faculty and university leaders who create opportunities like this. Internship presentations give students the chance to articulate what they have learned, connect classroom preparation with real experience, and take ownership of their professional growth. Academic programs become stronger when students are given structured opportunities to apply knowledge, present their work, and grow through mentorship.
