About Me

I first joined the MSS in my third year as part of the Athletics & Wellness subcommittee and I absolutely loved the team and the sense of community we built. I’m excited to keep strengthening those connections this year and to bring fresh, fun event ideas to campus that help students recharge, connect, and get moving. If you’re looking for me, you’ll most likely find me at The Grind (it’s cozy and calm and the perfect place for a quick study/yap sesh) or on the 6th floor of Mills. I love how focused and motivating it feels up there; everyone’s in the zone, and it makes it easy to get immersed in your work. If you ever see me, come say hi!

Goals

1. Making wellness easy and year-round, with bi-weekly Wellness Wednesdays, quick take-aways, and student takeovers so taking care of yourself feels simple and doable.

2. Creating low-pressure, fun ways to move and meet people, like Walk Club, Paint & Advice nights, intramural tournaments, and Pi Night—come as you are, make friends, and de-stress.

3. Leading with accessibility, empowerment, and community, by keeping events low/no-cost, drop-in, and beginner-friendly, sharing real take-home skills, and setting up a supportive foundation for students to engage in when it counts.

Projects

1. Relaunch the Walk Club — a monthly outdoor meet-up that blends mindfulness, movement, and connection while exploring campus and nearby trails.

2. Host Paint + Advice Night — a relaxed creative evening where students can paint, chat, and get tips from upper-years on wellness, studying, and balance.

3. Run the Refuel Exam Stations — pop-up tables during exam season offering snacks, encouragement, and wellness resources to help students recharge.

Reasons to Contact Me

1. You have ideas for new wellness or fitness initiatives you’d like to see on campus -- anything from workout classes to mindfulness events!

2. You want to collaborate on promoting physical or mental wellness within your club, team, or department.

3. You need a gym/rant buddy or someone to passionately debate whether stretching actually counts as a workout.
