Hello! My name is Olivia Sommerer and I am a sophomore at Champlain College. My threads in the Degree Design Lab are Advocacy, Psychology and Communications. I am taking charge in focusing on nutrition and different dietary needs in order to live a healthy lifestyle while remaining ethical and sustainable. I have always had a passion for health and wellness and read tons of books and educate myself a lot when it comes to living a healthy life. Relating my focus back to my threads, I hope to make some positive changes in our country and world when it comes to helping people have access and knowledge to how to take care of themselves. There are so many that don't know where to start or what to take care of themselves, and I hope to lend a helping hand. As a group we are trying to educate and promote ethical and sustainable eating. My part comes into play because along with eating ethically, we can also eat healthy. Taking care of our bodies while taking care of the planet. I would love for people to view our work and leave learning something new and feeling motivated to make smarter choices. Using what I have learned, I hope to be a helping hand for you all to understand how to better care for yourself, because at the end of the day, our health should always be our number one priority. Take care of yourselves, I am here to help!
