I’m actively involved in Loyola’s pre-med community and regularly connect with students through study groups, wellness spaces, and campus conversations. I’m also working with friends to start a volunteering organization connected to Lurie Children’s Hospital, which has strengthened my leadership and communication skills. Through content creation and peer engagement, I’m comfortable starting meaningful, one-on-one conversations around wellbeing.

Yes, there have been times when I struggled to communicate something important because I didn’t want to disappoint or burden someone I cared about. I’ve learned that taking time to understand my own feelings first and approaching the conversation with clarity and empathy makes a big difference. Those experiences have shown me how powerful thoughtful communication can be for strengthening relationships and mental wellbeing.

I’m interested in working with Inner Journey because I care deeply about mental fitness and helping students build simple habits that support clarity and balance. As a neuroscience pre-med student, I see how stress and overwhelm affect my peers every day, and I enjoy creating spaces for honest, approachable conversations around mental wellbeing. Inner Journey’s focus on making mental clarity accessible and human really resonates with how I engage with wellness on campus.
