CNY Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Alliance
The Alliance is a collaborative of providers, scientists and community members who support research, drive education and promote awareness to combat tick-borne diseases.
Our summer interns are knocking it out of the park! 🚀 We are so grateful for the fresh ideas, dedication and hard work they have been bringing. 💪🏽
Rachel Sorensen joined the Alliance as an intern at the end of May and has already made a meaningful impact behind the scenes. Rachel is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication Design, with a minor in Marketing, at Keuka College. Although distance limits her ability to frequently attend our community outreach events in-person, Rachel has become a valuable member of our Communications Committee, bringing creativity and fresh ideas to our branding, website, and marketing initiatives. Using skills she learned in nonprofit marketing at The Wild Center in Chittenango, Rachel has already begun helping strengthen the Alliance's communications and public outreach efforts. We are excited to support Rachel as she continues to expand her skillset, and look forward to the fresh lens she can bring to strengthen the Alliance’s brand.

Shoutout to the incredible interns who are helping us crush our goals this summer! Fresh perspectives & new talent has given us so much growth in such a short time! 🌟 Meet MADDI! 🌟
Maddi Cupernall started their internship with the Alliance this past May and has been a valuable addition to our team. Maddi is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Health at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF). Drawing on their experience as an EMT, Maddi quickly developed the skills to effectively communicate tick prevention information to diverse populations at community outreach events and immediately made an impact during one of our busiest times of the year. Since joining the Alliance, Maddi has assisted with several community education events, supported data management and recordkeeping, and contributed to public engagement efforts across Central New York. We are excited to continue supporting Maddi's growth in the field of public health and are extremely grateful for their dedication to our mission of raising awareness and preventing tick-borne diseases throughout our community.
