Rebecca Sturgeon (she/her)
Curriculum Specialist and Lead Instructor
What motivates you to come to work everyday?
Healthcare. :) No, really, it is healthcare -- how broken it is, how it doesn't support the humanity of patients or practitioners, and the fact that Healwell works to bring love and humanity back into care.
What is your favorite part of your job?
I love hearing the excitement of people who take our classes when they realize that what they learned has made lives better -- their own and their clients/friends/family.
What is your favorite holiday?
Samhain
Tacos or pizza?
Both -- but only if you put "Vegan dessert" in front of it
If you could be any animal, what would you be?
Cicada. I mean, who wouldn't want to nap for 17 years, wake up and party with all your friends in the warm sunshine, then go back to sleep?
