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.
Renee Andre
Health & Wellness Chair DMD ' 21 | randre07@bu.edu Hometown: Plattsburgh, NY I enjoy staying active by going to the gym, running, or doing things outdoors! I have a strong love for cooking, especially with whole foods. In 2019 I ran the Chicago Marathon and have the goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon within the next few years! I like trying new things and spending time with friends and family. Love meeting new people and encouraging involvement-- please don't hesitate to reach out to get involved! |
Vivek Patel
Health & Wellness Vice Chair DMD ' 23 | vspatel@bu.edu Hometown: Fullerton, CA 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 really enjoy cooking, learning new techniques and recipes, and most importantly, trying new cuisines. 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 Harpoon Brewery at the beginning of the school year! |
Mary Morcos
First Year Liaison DMD '24 | marym97@bu.edu Hometown: Mendon, MA As an Egyptian, I grew up dancing and enjoying the sparkling beaches of the Mediterranean. In my free time, I enjoy long walks, painting with acrylics, drawing, and reading. I also love coffee and all kinds of spicy food, so I go out frequently to explore new dishes and gourmet coffee flavors (my favorite flavor is maple cinnamon french toast). I am looking forward to this amazing year with BU ASDA and look forward to attending and participating in the events! |
