I have been working at Honors since I was a freshman at the UofA, and coming on as a full-time staff member illuminated countless opportunities to grow in the community. My main motivation for wellness stems from one of my core values in life which is to find, create, and spread joy through fun. People don't play enough anymore, and my position as a Wellness Ambassador became the perfect opportunity to foster this piece of wellness in my department. Fun has flourished in the Honors College, and we are a happier, more connected team as a result.

Here is what her coworkers had to say:

"Baked Potato Thursday is so pure and fun! I genuinely look forward to it every week and plan my work week around it."

"As someone who was new to the university, your events made it so easy to transition into the office and its culture. They provided a welcoming and engaging space that made me feel so welcome and have become a source of joy every week."
