Hey Bloomberg family! I’m Lexi and I’m running to be your first year wellness coordinator! I graduated from Carleton University in Child Studies and Biology and am so excited to be starting our nursing journeys together at U of T. I’m hoping to bring my past event planning experience to this role and create occasions that guarantee our two years at Bloomberg, and in Toronto, are memorable ones! I have a passion for healthy living, am a certified personal trainer and am an ambassador for Cam’s Kids, an organization that focuses on supporting young people with anxiety. I recognize the importance of supporting our peers through an intense two years of academia and I hope to inspire events that embolden self-care, ensuring students are made aware of the mental and physical health resources available and feel comfortable reaching out to said resources. I understand that this is a program compiled of mature students with previous experiences and backgrounds. Many of us have already formed incredible, lasting relationships however; as a hopeful first year wellness coordinator, I will encourage events that are appealing and inclusive for all students and facilitate opportunities to build genuine connections with our peers while benefiting our health.
