Wellness is a conscious, self-directed and evolving process of achieving full potential. How do you actively pursue your wellness?
I have been granted several opportunities to learn, grow, and intrinsically motivate myself in the tenant of wellness. To me, wellness is never ending, which is why I have always pursued new learning opportunities to further understand the various pieces of wellness. Aside from learning, I am passionate about taking care of and listening to my body whether it be through exercise or resting when it is needed. I am also actively engaged in paying attention to my mental health.

What do you do to take care of yourself when you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed?
As a graduate student, stress seems to be fairly constant, especially with the current state of COVID-19. While it has been difficult, whenever I am feeling overwhelmed, I make it a priority to do something for myself that will boost my mood, or will be good for my body and mind. I enjoy listening to music, or my favorite podcasts. I also release a lot of any built up emotions at the gym or through my workouts.

What motivates you to be well and stay healthy?
Being well and staying healthy is a major part of who I am. I want to continuously strive to be well (both mentally and physically) so I can be the best person I can be for me, for a future spouse, and for my future children.
