Student Wellness Ambassador Program

Hi! I'm Rylee, a fifth-year Psychology (Honors Thesis) student with a Neuroscience minor. I'm deeply engaged in student well-being, mental health advocacy, and undergraduate research. I currently serve as President of the Psychology Club, hold a role in student government, and co-founded FLARE, an undergraduate research journal and symposium. Outside of my roles, I'm a DJ and music lover who enjoys staying active and curious through chess, lifting, running, hiking, and anything that keeps my brain engaged. I joined SWAP because I care about how systems, environments, and access shape student mental health, not just individual coping. I've applied to graduate programs in clinical psychology with the long-term goal of integrating research, trauma-informed practice, and advocacy to help build mental health spaces that are accessible, ethical, and genuinely supportive for the communities they serve.

My name is Jericho, a 4th year student majoring in BMGT Marketing. A gym-loving and absolute nerd combo that loves to get out his comfort zone to gain experiences! I joined SWAP because I was tired of working in a cubicle at my internship and wanted to really get out there more and I don’t see any better opportunity than to help out and talk to my fellow colleagues/classmates around the campus whether it be peer-support or event hosting times. 

Hey my name is Clay, I’m a member of your SWAP team and a marketing major. I joined the SWAP team because in the past SWAP had helped me, and now I wanted to find new ways to help our students. 

My name is Mmeso Ifebuzor and I’m a 3rd-year Neuroscience student. I joined SWAP because I’m passionate about health, especially mental wellness. As a student, I understand how challenging it can be to balance academics, personal life, and overall well-being. I want to help create a supportive environment where students feel seen, heard, and encouraged. Through SWAP, I hope to contribute to building a community that promotes wellness and gives students spaces to feel at peace.

Hello everyone! My name is Alejandro Figueroa, and I am a B.Sc. Kinesiology student with minors in Neuroscience and Sociology at the University of Lethbridge. I joined the Student Wellness Ambassador Program because I am passionate about student well-being and understand how challenging it can be to balance academics, leadership, work, and personal life. Outside of SWAP, I stay involved through student leadership, community initiatives, and as an athlete for the Pronghorns track and field team. In my downtime, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking, and going for a good hike. Through SWAP, I hope to help foster a supportive campus environment where students feel encouraged, connected, and empowered to prioritize their mental and overall well-being.

I am a 3rd year finance student at the Calgary campus of U of L. I signed up to SWAP because this opportunity helps me give back to my campus and community. I love volunteering because it shows me that the work that we do makes a difference for the better. Mental health is one of the topics that still makes people uncomfortable, and through my efforts on campus I hope to change that.
