Erika Bettermann
Biochemistry/Music, HMS
I became a Peer Health Advisor in order to prepare me as I plan to study Nutrition in graduate school, as well as to help my peers in making healthy choices here at Lehigh as well as post-grad. In addition to PHA, I'm also involved in Greek Life, A Capella, and the TRAC Program.
Alexandra Donnelly
HMS/Women and Gender Studies
I became a Peer Health Advisor because I want to work in the medical field after college and I hope to work with my peers to increase my knowledge of health and wellness. I am also involved in Greek life and play on the Club Water Polo team.
Julia Feindt
Biology/HMS
I became a Peer Health Adviser because I feel that college students need the most guidance in terms of how to have a health lifestyle. They are becoming increasingly independent and more in charge of the decisions that affect their bodies. Not only do I want to help people but I am also interested in learning the most effective ways to keep myself in optimal health.
Stephanie Geismar
Psychology/Spanish
I chose to become a PHA because I believe it crucial for both myself and my fellow students to have a thorough education regarding all sects of health. This knowledge can then be spread and employed in every day life, making our campus and society as a whole a more functional and stable environment.

My name is Kristy Koperski and I am a Junior. I am a Psychology major and Health, Medicine and Society minor.

Pooja Malhotra

I joined Peer Health Advisors because I wanted to help students make smart decisions with their lifestyles on and off campus. I hope to work in the medical and public health fields, so becoming a PHA will not only help my peers, but also help me to make healthy choices in the future

I became a Peer Health Adviser because I believe in being proactive about health and wellness, and I want to give students the resources to make informed decisions when it comes to their health. I hope to pursue graduate studies in public health or nutrition. In addition to PHA, I am also involved in Lehigh Choral Arts, the LU Bioethics Society, and research in the Psychology department.
Molly Nemerever
I have always been interested in new and innovative ways to live a healthier lifestyle. When I came to college I knew that I was on my own to keep track of my health. I am excited to constantly be learning about health issues, especially those specific to Lehigh, and to also have the ability to help educate my colleagues.
