Being an international student going to college for the first time, I experienced how hard it is to prioritize your health, all 9 dimensions of it. Understanding how difficult it can be to be aware of your needs and responsible for your wellness motivated me to become a Peer Health Educator. I am glad that I get to be a part of spreading awareness and reminding students to put themselves first. They are human beings before students, employees, etc.

One of my favorite things about being a Peer Health Educator is informing students on taking care of their emotional well-being and helping them embrace their cultural background! The dimensions of emotional and cultural wellness are the most important to me because they often correlate with one another. I enjoy learning about how different cultures function and thrive, while also getting to understand people's emotional responses and beliefs. This allows me to better understand the world around me, and I even get to make new friends!

I became a Peer Health Educator because I wanted the chance to engage and inform students on important aspects of their lives. I think it is super important to make sure students are taking care of themselves while in college! I am grateful to be a part of team that has been so welcoming and caring about one another! I am excited to see how my role as a Peer Health Educator will continue to help our Mavericks!
