Chat with a Peer Health and Wellness Educator

Peer Health and Wellness Educators support fellow UMB students and empower them to make healthy choices. Peer health and wellness educators connect their peers to campus resources and offer health education on a variety of important health and wellbeing topics. Students can also sign up to "chat with a peer educator." These one-on-one chats provide a safe space for students to engage in open dialogue to discuss health and wellness goals and concerns. 

Rebecca Romano My name is Becca.  And I am one of the Peer Educators here at URecFit and Wellness.  I am also a graduate nursing student in the MSN CNL Program here at UMB.  As an aspiring nurse, I am especially passionate about health and wellness.  Some things I enjoy doing for my own health and wellness include, cycling, taking outdoor walks in nature, eating clean, prioritizing quality sleep, praying, gratitude journaling, and spending quality time with loved ones.  It brings me great joy to assist and encourage others in meeting their own health and wellness goals.  No matter where you are at on your journey, or what your goals are, you are not alone.  I believe in you!  Let’s get started. Schedule with Rebecca here. 

Aishwarya Venkataraman I am a medical doctor from India and a first-year student in the MS Human Genetics and Genomic Medicine program at UMB. I am passionate about conducting research in, and working to further, medicine and human health. I believe wellness should be prioritized and that small, but regular, habits go a long way. Sunny days and the outdoors make me happy, and I am invariably excited about any activity involving a combination of the two! I also enjoy reading and am always delighted to exchange book recommendations. As a peer wellness educator at URecFit and Wellness, I hope to help you achieve your wellness goals. Schedule with Aishwarya here.
