Hello! My name is Karen, I use she/her pronouns and am a junior majoring in MCD biology. I am on the pre-med track, and I enjoy learning about how we can use both science and empathy to improve our own lives and the lives of people around us! In my free time, I like spending time with friends and family, running outdoors, and cooking new recipes. I enjoy working as a Peer Health Educator because I love to be involved in my university community and learn about how to promote our wellbeing as college students. This theme is at the heart of many of the messages we spread as peer health educators. College can be a time of a lot of transition and uncertainty. Sharing tools on how to balance stress and responsibilities, build healthy relationships, and take care of our health is important to me, because as students we are all on the same team as we transition into adulthood and figure out our place in the world.

As a Peer Wellness Coach, I am excited to work one-on-one with students to help achieve any goals regarding interpersonal relationships, school-life balance, or anything pertaining to their overall wellbeing! My intention is to help break down large goals into small steps that can make a big difference. My hope is that our sessions will help you better understand what skills and techniques can best fit your life, and can guide us in working together to create a way of achieving your goals that is not only maintainable, but enjoyable!
