Thanks for stopping by! My name is Nico, and I am a fourth-year Human Biology and Society student at UCLA! As someone who joined Total Wellness in his freshman year of college, I have grown immensely because of this organization. It has been a really great platform for me to take control of my health and encourage others to do so as well. As you read through our website, I hope that you would come to agree with me and join us as we explore wellness from the perspective of many fields. Personally, I love cooking, music, and anything with the word “eco-“ attached to it. When I am not hanging out with my TW family, catch me working on my next art project and searching for new places to explore!

Hi! My name is Nicole Huang, and I am currently a 4th year Human Biology and Society major. Total Wellness has been the perfect intersection between two major passions of mine: health and media. Since joining, I've loved being able to engage with the UCLA community by starting conversations about health and wellness through whichever media that appeals to them, whether it be art, photography or words. Outside of TW, you can find me cafe hopping around LA, baking in excessive amounts, or taking pictures of anything and everything!

Everyone is so uplifting and I am thankful to have received such great guidance here.

Alice Huang

My name is Alice and I am a second year Cognitive Science major. I joined Total Wellness because I admired the club's goals of promoting student health and wellness through little zines, stickers, magazine publications, and campus-wide events. I wanted to be involved in planning and hosting fun events that would make a lasting, positive impact to the UCLA community. I also sought to use my graphic design skills to create social media flyers and posts. Since being a part of TW, I love how we as a team can collectively work together and use our creativity to produce something impactful. My interests include digital design, art, and psychology.
