About

Her favorite things include volunteering at Prospect Park in her beloved Brooklyn, and being with loved ones.
Other Initiatives
Positively YOU:
Doctor Anica has worked closely with the Sarah Lawrence College Counseling and Psychological Services director to create and lead a mindfulness based positive psychology class titled, Positively YOU. This 6 week for credit class is designed to help students identify, and nurture their signature strengths in an intentional and mindful way. The course is offered to students 1x each semester (fall, spring).
Food Share Program:
The national rise in food insecurity among college students over the last 10 years led Doctor Anica to initiate discussions about its prevalence on the Sarah Lawrence College campus, and explore ways of addressing the need. Partnering with the SLC Dean of Student Affairs, as well as the director of Diversity & Campus Engagement Doctor Anica has helped to gather data by surveying the SLC community about food insecurity, and is actively working to devise effective initiatives to help address the need (i.e. establishing a food pantry).

Peer Health Education
Doctor Anica has worked closely with a nurse at SLC Health and Wellness to co-coordinate the Peer Health Education Program, designed to develop student allies and advocates for healthy living. All eligible candidates are trained in 9 modules ranging from skills in communication, time management, team building, leadership, conflict resolution, to self-care management, as well as health advocacy and support. Upon completion of the training students are required to complete and pass an online certification exam, with an 80% score or higher, before becoming an official PHE.
