Why did you want to become and H&W intern?

 I have worked with Health & Wellness since 2022 and was motivated to do so by a passion for helping others which was strengthened by personal experiences with poor body image and disordered eating. Since then, I have broadened my scope at Health & Wellness to not just address disordered eating and poor body image amongst men but also poor sexual education and general negativity - I focus EDBI, Sexual Health, Positive Psychology, and am happy to support my peers through those focuses.
