Programs and Promotions Coordinator for Health and Wellness Programs

As the programs and promotions coordinator for the Allen Center for Health and Wellness Programs, I keep busy planning, implementing and evaluating theme weeks, Allen Center events, and a variety of health and wellness programs. I also supervise the student graphic and web designers, and coordinate tobacco prevention and cessation initiatives. As a certified American Lung Association Freedom from Smoking Facilitator, I have facilitated ten stop smoking classes on campus and have helped reduce UWSP student smoking rates by 16% in the past two and one-half years. I have served on the AODA community coalition, and am currently a member of the Tobacco Free Coalition and the Healthy People of Portage County Coalition.

My educational background includes a B.S. in Community Health Education from the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse and a Masters in Human and Community resources with an emphasis in Health Promotion and Human Development for the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
