Curry Health Center

Davidson Honors College, Room 017 

Hi! My name is Dylan (she/her), and I am so excited to be one of your Wellbeing Support Coaches this year. I am a senior majoring in Social Work and minoring in Global Public Health. To support my own wellbeing, I enjoy going for walks, baking treats for my loved ones, and listening to music. I look forward to helping my peers recognize their strengths and work toward their wellbeing goals!

Brantly Hall, Room 304 

Hi! My name is Joe, and I am a Master of Social Work student. Before coming to UM, I spent nearly 20 years working seasonal jobs centered around people, community, and the natural world. Meditation has been an important part of my wellbeing journey, helping me feel grounded and inspiring a lasting curiosity about how people create meaningful, connected lives. 

These days, I enjoy gardening, building community, and exploring ways to find balance in a busy world. As a Wellbeing Support Coach, I hope to offer students a space to slow down, think things through, and discover what helps them feel well — both academically and personally.

College of Business, Room L35 

Hi! My name is Kayla, and I am completing my master’s degree in Social Work at the University of Montana. I am originally from Colorado Springs, Colorado. One of my wellbeing superpowers is my ability to empathize with and support others. In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, spending time with my dog, and playing video games with my significant other. 

Alexander Blewett III School of Law, Room 216 

Hi! My name is Jacob Burns, and I am a senior completing my bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Sport Psychology. I grew up in the Midwest, primarily in Iowa and Minnesota. 

One way I support my wellbeing is by running and playing soccer. Movement helps me feel accomplished and positive. One of my favorite wellbeing tools is box breathing, which helps me slow down and stay present when I feel overwhelmed. 

Liberal Arts Building, Room 235B 

Hi! My name is Jess Reilly, and I am from New Jersey. I am a junior at UM studying Communication Studies and Psychology. 

One of my favorite ways to care for myself is by taking a walk—preferably with a good friend! I love getting outside, exploring Missoula, and taking time to step away from school and everyday stress. 

My favorite wellbeing tip is to never underestimate the power of positivity. Focusing on the good, celebrating small wins, and surrounding yourself with people who bring positive energy into your life can make a meaningful difference. Even on a hard day, finding one small thing to be grateful for can help shift your mindset. 

Schreiber Gym, Room 112 

Hi! My name is Dave, and I am pursuing a master’s degree in Social Work with the goal of providing mental health counseling to military veterans. In my free time, I enjoy playing with my kids, blacksmithing, and reading.
