Congratulations to Anna Meza, Nutrition Services Operation Specialist, for being nominated and selected as our Health Nut of the month for September!
For the first time ever, we received FOUR nominations for Anna!
"I have been so impressed by the way that Anna shows up for so many Worksite Wellness programs. Whether it's early morning yoga or after work cooking classes, Anna makes it a priority to participate in programs that make healthy living a priority. I especially love that she includes her family in Worksite Wellness programs and healthy choices. She is such a great role model for her family, and for her co-workers."
"Anna balances so many good things in life nicely. There is nothing forbidden when it comes to food and Anna knows that everything has its place in a healthful daily diet. Coffee with a little sweetener is a special treat that one will find Anna enjoying all throughout the day. She makes the prettiest charcuterie boards full of cheeses, veggies, and dried fruit and even brings them to work with her! Anna appreciates quiet moments outside during the workday, when things get a little busy. She stays active in the community with her young children and Anna even takes breaks to enjoy playing at the park with her preschool age daughter, when her schedule allows. Because Anna distributes physical activity, mental wellness, and joyful socializing throughout her days, she has earned Health Nut of the Month!"
"Anna is always one to ensure we take time for ourselves, and our families. Walks, lunches, and Wellness events are all part of Anna's normal. She represents someone who works extremely hard at her job while balancing the challenges of family/home life."
"Anna does an absolutely amazing job of making space for her mental and emotional health. With two children, she is a busy working mom that has a lot on her plate! Over the years I have worked with Anna, I have seen her continuously implement healthy tactics to deal with difficult situations and maintain her mental balance. These include things like:
-Stepping away to clear her mind while taking a walk
-Taking time to talk things through with another colleague to gain perspective and support
-Engaging in a creative task to allow herself a mental break
-Knowing when it's time to take some time off work to focus on health and family"
