Wellness Warrior
Congratulations to our Wellness Warrior for May, Sarah Mobley! The Wellness Warrior Award is given to individuals across campus who are nominated by their peers for leading by example and inspiring through action as they work to create a healthier lifestyle.
Sarah currently works in the Civil and Environmental Engineering department. She has been at UT for three years. In her free time, Sarah enjoys running, biking, cooking, and camping.
We asked Sarah what inspires her to make healthy choices and live a healthy lifestyle. She shared that in her household, Sarah and her husband try to eat well and stay active in hopes of avoiding future health issues and setting a good example for their very active three-year-old. Sarah has also found that being more mindful about where food comes from helps her feel more connected to the community.
Sarah gave birth to her son in her final year of graduate school and the stress of that along with finishing her dissertation and job hunting really took a toll on her system. Sarah feels like one of her biggest successes is just the fact that she has been able to regain control and balance and she is (finally) starting to feel more energized and enthusiastic about taking on more and bigger challenges.
