Aaryan Jain
Yo, what’s good my name is Aaryan Jain and I’m majoring in business with a concentration in information technology management. I am a big believer in health and wellness and being a Healthy Jacket will give me the platform to advocate its importance to students on campus. I feel it’s best that the easiest way to gauge these type of interactions is by talking about our personal experiences because it is likely that other student’s have felt or been through similar situations. As a way to take care of my own personal health, I like to volunteer, go on hikes, go to the gym, and play basketball. I also like to eat wings in my free time. Aside from that, I am in GTVC, Startup Exchange, UCC, and Sports Business Club.

Julia Patteson
Hi everyone, I'm Julia! I am majoring in Psychology and double minoring in the Science of Mental Health and Wellbeing and Neuroscience here at Tech.

My other roles at GT include as an undergrad research assistant at CoNTRoL (Cog Neuro at Tech Research Lab), QPR instructor, and RISE (Reimagine, Inspire, Serve, Empower) Educational Coordinator.

Jason Wang
Hi I’m Jason. I’m majoring in Neuroscience with minors in Health & Medical Sciences and Chinese. My core guiding life principle arise from a quote from psychoanalyst Erik Erikson - "The richest and fullest lives attempt to achieve an inner balance between three realms: work, love, and play." As a Healthy Jacket Peer Educator, I aim to foster this balance in life by supporting others, educating them about, and advocating for the eight dimensions of wellness. I strongly believe that through proper planning, communication, and trust both within and outside the Healthy Jacket community, anyone, no matter their cultural background, will be able to embrace novel ideas about health and the importance of creating balance and satisfaction in life. Personally, outside of academia, I’m involved in various organizations and hobbies, such as being a Winship Cancer Institute Volunteer, Honors Program Member, Life & Health Insurance Agent & Instructor, cultural drummer, recreational swimmer, and being a traveler.
