As an original member of the Wellness Committee (formed in 2007) I have seen the incredible growth of the Wildcat Wellness Program thanks to the hard work of current and past committee members. Nothing is more fulfilling than being part of a team with similar interests, and an organization that values its employees. I'm passionate about what I do and I truly believe that an employee wellness program can play a major role in helping adults improve or maintain their overall health and well-being both inside and outside of work.

An employee wellness program is something that should be fun, rewarding, and inspiring while remaining accessible to its employees. I am excited about the possibilities and the direction in which the Wildcat Wellness Program is headed and look forward to employee wellness becoming an important part of the Davidson College culture.

The Wellness Committee has been an incredible opportunity to meet people cross-departmentally and to work together toward making Davidson an even better place to work and be "well." I've learned a lot about the college's mission to encourage whole-person health and wellness for faculty and staff, and I'm humbled to be a part of something that I think is changing our campus culture for the better.

The concept of wellness is central to my life. Becoming part of the Wellness Committee here at Davidson was a natural progression from taking and instructing exercise classes. I enjoy being part of a group that helps to promote wellness to others. As we move forward in developing new ideas and programs it will be exciting to see the ways in which we can include and inspire more of our Davidson College community. I truly enjoy the many aspects of wellness in my own life and I love to share that energy with others.

By being part of the Wellness Committee I hope to help create a culture where Davidson employees choose to live healthier lifestyles rather than being forced to do so. Our programs help people realize that what they may think of as "typical" exercise isn't the only way to be well and happy.
