Our programs and resources are built for students, faculty, staff, administrators, and the broad campus community to ensure long-term change at the individual, campus community, and policy levels. Active Minds prioritizes the student voice to ensure a student-driven and student-focused approach in mental health promotion. We inspire mental health advocates to have conversations that have the potential to save lives." Active Minds

| Why did you join the Active Minds? |
I joined Active Minds to help increase the awareness and importance of mental health on college campuses. I think it is important to provide support and resources that can evaluate stress or other hardships we face as a society or individually. Active Minds is a great place to learn from one another and support everyone in the NMSU community who may need an extra hand. |
| Something fun about yourself or want others to know: | I enjoy fishing with my family and spending time with my mini–Schnauzer Lily. |
