What does well-being mean to you?
To me, well-being means the feeling of connection to your mind and body’s wants and needs. This means different things for different people, and I believe a framework of community support helps in creating a definition of well-being that leaves a lot of room for its complexity and the importance of our relationships to one another.
What drew you to becoming a Peer Health Educator?
I’ve noticed that in a lot of ways the pandemic has changed the way students think about asking for help and feeling connected to their community—through peer health work, I hope to be able to attenuate some of this alienation and have conversations with Â鶹ÊÓƵstudents about what kind of support they feel they need. I’ve also previously worked with Planned Parenthood doing health education and upon transferring to Â鶹ÊÓƵand finding out about this program, was interested in continuing this work. :)
What’s your favorite thing about Oxy?
I love the campus and the intimacy of its closeness and how students at Â鶹ÊÓƵare curious, interested people who care about the world.
