Could public health be a good fit for me?

I would like a job where I get to work with the public as a mentor or educator. I have no problem with learning science and things, but I think the fun part for me is sharing that knowledge with people to shed some light on things like proper nutrition or exercise, just for instance. I don't think I'm as interested in being good at learning all the details of how things work, as I've found through working on an engineering degree, but rather just being knowledgeable about what sort of habits help to reach a certain goal or to keep a person healthy.
