Peer Health Educators and Health Hut

Our Peer Health Educators (PHEs) are a unique group of students with varying college career paths, different backgrounds, and an interest in the health of EWU students. They provide peer to peer education through small group and large group presentations, tabling events, campus programs, Health Hut, and social media outreach.

Winter 2023 Peer Health Educators

 

Jillian Thompson
Olympia, WA

Jillian Thompson has recently transferred to Eastern, after completing her associates degree at South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia Washington, She is excited to be a Peer Health Educator and help bring the Health Hut back to campus. She enjoys collecting vinyl and dying her hair various fun colors. Her favorite part about working in the office is getting involved around campus.

 

 

 


Jewlieanna Granberry (AKA: Jewlz)
Tacoma, WA

Jewlz is a freshman majoring in Nursing with hopes of becoming a pediatric nurse at Seattle Children's Hospital. After being a pediatric nurse for a couple of years, she plans to become a travel nurse to explore and experience the world. She always loves helping others and being an outlet for those who don't have someone to lean on. Jewlz loves spending my free time watching movies, reading mystery books, coloring to help take her mind off everything, napping whenever possible, loves coffee, red-bull spritzers, and spicy food like seriously!! Her favorite go to food would be wings or green sauce enchiladas.  Jewlz enjoys working out because it has become an outlet to let all my emotions out and keep my brain moving. Being away from home has allowed her to grow in many ways, see the world through so many different lens and realize how amazing my parents are. She looks forward to engaging with peers on campus while helping and supporting those who need it.

 

Mika Badillo
Hawaii

Hi, I am Mika! I am a junior and my major is a Marketing with a minor in Psychology and Gender Women's Sexuality Studies. I am from Hawai'i and moved to Washington last year! A few of my hobbies are to take photos and playing video games but also sleeping is a great talent of mine, My comfort food has to be spam since there are multiple ways you can mix it up. I enjoy meeting and connecting with new people, and I can't wait to do that as a peer health educator.

 

 

 

Mele (Mel) Veikoso
Federal Way, WA

I am a Senior studying Criminal Justice and minoring in Sociology. I want to be able to pursue a career in Criminal Justice mainly working with victims, what made me really want to do this was a class I took all about victimology and from then on, I have just been wanting that as my end goal. Some things I love to do on-campus are playing volleyball with friends whether that is at the URC or at the Phase. I also like to talk with friends and getting coffee. I enjoy watching shows/movies, love listening to music and love to see new places. My time at Eastern I have learned to grow as a person and become more independent, where I have felt that I gained a lot more understanding of my mind, heart and body. My start here as a Peer Health educator has only made me enjoy more of what campus has to offer and enjoy my time even more because of the people I have the opportunity to work with.
