Personal interests

I am a mama above all else. I have two young(ish) children who fill my life with light, love, and constant tests to my patience, mindfulness, and equipoise. I am also a wife, sister, daughter, athlete, deep-friendship-embracer, outdoorsy-person, winter-lover, morning-person, extrovert-who-needs-alone-time, and science/health/wellness nerd. In my limited spare time you can find me playing with my family, eating spicy food, and lifting heavy weights.

About Me

Strengths

Helping students find their own wisdom to make behavior changes through emotional intelligence, empathy, and manageable goal-setting.

Approach to wellness

There are many systemic barriers to health and well-being that must be named and challenged. I believe in the power of looking at wellness critically, holistically, and interculturally. A holistic approach allows us to address and attend to the expected and unexpected fluctuations in life, and harness resiliency for the times in our lives that challenge us.
