OUR HEALTH & WELLNESS COMMITTEE
The Health & Wellness Committee designs, implements, and monitors events that foster lifelong healthy decisions for BU ASDA members all while promoting a balanced and fulfilling personal and professional life as a student. Skills taught throughout Health and Wellness events apply not only to students but can be used after leaving dental school as well.
Brian Li
Health & Wellness Chair DMD ' 24 | librian@bu.edu Hometown: Houston, TX I'm a self proclaimed foodie and a fun fact about me is that I am a top 10% google reviewer. Some other hobbies I enjoy are cooking, hiking, fishing, playing video games, and playing tennis. My favorite type of food is Asian food and my favorite dish is Yangzhou fried rice. Some of my favorite ASDA events are the Lunch and Learns because they help me get to know the dental world more. |
Vivek Patel
Health & Wellness Vice Chair DMD '23 | vspatel@bu.edu Hometown: Orange County, CA Hi, my name is Vivek Patel and I am a D3 student originally from Southern California! In my spare time, I enjoy getting outdoors as much as possible. You’ll usually find me out and about hiking, running around the Esplanade or playing sports with friends (if weather is warm). Outside of exercising, I love cooking, learning new techniques and recipes, and most importantly, trying new cuisines. My top three cuisines would have to be Mexican, Thai and Indian! A fun fact about me is that I ran the Los Angeles Marathon in 2018 and hope to someday run the Boston Marathon! Some of my favorite ASDA events have been the Back Bay Boxing class where we filled the gym with BU GSDM students and friends or the run to Seaport Event when I first started at GSDM! |
Mary Morcos
Health & Wellness Vice Chair DMD ' 24| marym97@bu.edu Hometown: Mendon, MA Hi, I'm Mary! I love taking long walks around the city while enjoying a nice cup of gourmet-flavored coffee, my favorite being the "Love Bird" from Jaho Coffee Roasters. I enjoy trying out new restaurants and hanging out with my friends and family. If the weather is not permitting or I am taking a short break from exams, I stay indoors possibly dancing, doing yoga, reading, cooking, or watching my favorite show with a hot cup of black tea with mint leaves. My favorite ASDA events were the Step-Out Challenge and the Nutrition lecture. |
