Health & Wellness

When was your first year at SBS?
2022 was my first year.

Where is your favorite spot on campus?
I enjoy the pond by the barn because of all the wildlife. I heard community members saw otters there earlier in the year, and I hope that I'll get to see one someday, even though I also heard that the alleged otter was actually a muskrat.

What's your favorite meal served in the Dining Hall? 
I like a lot of the vegetarian options with lentils - I've always felt intimidated by cooking with them myself at home.

What's your favorite SBS tradition?
I love being able to participate in Mountain Day, and I am looking forward to experiencing the many other traditions throughout the academic year.

When was your first year at SBS?
2016 was my first year.

Where is your favorite spot on campus?
The Equestrian Center, because horses are my passion.

What's your favorite meal served in the Dining Hall? 
Vegetarian soups!

What's your favorite SBS tradition? 
100 Nights, I love the festive attire and celebratory atmosphere!

What's your secret talent?
In addition to my work at SBS, I am also a fitness instructor.

What's a moment of joy you have experienced while at SBS?
My daughter graduating in the Class of 2021!

When was your first year at SBS?
2022 was my first year.

If you weren't in your current role at SBS, what other opportunities, professionally or personally, would you like to explore?
Anything that would allow me to get to know students better than is possible in a few minutes across the Health Center half-door. Like helping students who struggle with writing and with executive function issues, co-leading stress-management and other groups, or co-facilitating a book-based group.

Where is your favorite spot on campus? 
I do love Tarbell Terrace. It's just so beautiful - so expansive - the trees, the grass, the sky! The carpet of leaves in the fall, and the students sledding in the winter!

What's your secret talent?
I can wiggle my ears and raise just one side of my lip. These talents have not gotten me very far in life.

Who in the community to do you turn to for help/support and why?
Jenny Potee most of all, because she knows all the answers to my questions! Sara Gibbons, because she knows the students so well and has such good instincts about what would work for the students, and because she is unfailingly available, good humored, patient and supportive. Nicki, the athletic trainer because she is so experienced and knowledgeable about injuries and orthopedic issues. Kate and Merideth for their understanding of the inner lives of the students.

What is something that surprised you about SBS?
How warm and close the relationships between students are, and between employees and students. It didn't surprise me exactly, but it makes me love SBS!
