As a Peer Wellness Coach, I like to bring warmth and empathy into our conversations during wellness check-ins. I'm especially passionate about helping students navigate their sexuality and relationships as well as LGBTQ+ experiences on campus. I became a coach because I believe that there is so much power behind coaching, and I want to use it to help support your well-being!

Hello, I'm Jane (she/her/hers)! I'm from South Korea and currently a fourth-year Psychological and Brain Sciences Ph.D. student. I'm fascinated by narrative stories for both my research and life, how we understand each other's stories and develop our own. I have been moving around a lot myself (went through 10 campuses) and had adventures in academic and personal environmental changes. One of my goals as a coach is to make sure you don't feel alone in your situation. We will walk through this together.

My coaching style is warm, non-judgmental, and centered on active listening. I'm here to help you reflect, grow, and explore your own goals at your own pace. I especially enjoy talking about navigating transitions, building motivation, and cultivating a sense of belonging. Outside of coaching, I love hiking new trails and playing tennis with my friends.

As a Peer Wellness Coach, I'm a warm, attentive listener that'll create a safe space for personal reflection. I'm especially happy to
talk to you about time management, belonging, and managing stress. Outside of coaching, you can find me in my lab or taking care of animals.

Laura Beth (LB) White

Hi there! I'm LB (she/her/hers), and I have been working in the wellbeing field for eleven years where I have served a wide range of populations including healthcare employees, veterans, youth, and young adults. I completed my undergraduate degree with a focus on the intersection of mindfulness and holistic mental health counseling at Union Institute & University.  I have also completed Koru Mindfulness training, yoga teacher certification through YogaDharma, and wellness coach certification through the National Institute of Whole Health. My personal mindfulness practice along with my education and training provide me with a foundation of expertise and authenticity in my work with others. Previously, I served as the Wellbeing + Mindfulness Specialist, and now serve as the Assistant Director for Wellbeing for the Dartmouth College Student Wellness Center, developing programs that enhance students' capacities for mindfulness while also broadly supporting the holistic wellbeing of all students.

Hi, I'm Alleah (she/her/hers), and I am a dedicated wellness professional committed to helping students on their journey of self-exploration and personal development. I joined the Student Wellness Center team in 2023 to advance mindfulness and wellbeing programs that guide the Dartmouth community closer toward flourishing. I previously worked in outdoor and agricultural education and have experienced many of the ways that nature can help us nurture our inner qualities. As a coach, my philosophy is centered on the belief that you possess answers within yourself, like seeds in the soil waiting their turn to sprout. Through this collaborative process, we can together cultivate a garden of self-awareness, purpose, and fulfillment.

Hi, I'm Brian (he/him/his). I try to keep a low profile, considering myself to simply be a counselor who specializes in listening. However, I am occasionally pulled into the spotlight for my significant work in higher education prevention, student wellness and reducing high risk drinking with efficient and effective ways of implementing evidence base programs such as BASICS. I have spent the last decade fine tuning Dartmouth's comprehensive approach to managing and reducing high risk drinking, and have held licenses and certifications as a clinical mental health and substance abuse counselor for over 30 years.

Hi, I'm Noah (she/her/hers)! I joined the SWC in 2024, and I have several years' experience supporting youth and young adults in academic settings. I work on Dartmouth's Sexual Violence Prevention Project (SVPP) and come from a public health background; before moving to the Upper Valley, I conducted school-based violence prevention programming with a rape crisis center in Colorado. My expertise is in supporting people affected by sexual or domestic violence, but I'm happy to chat about anything going on in your life. As a coach, my priorities are to listen without judgment, to highlight the strengths you already have, and to help shoulder the weight of what you're going through. You don't have to carry this alone! I'm also a proponent of community resourcing and, with your permission, might suggest other groups or services for you to connect with. My goal here is to help you better understand your situation, your needs, and ultimately, yourself.
