Lydia Giersch
Marketing & Health Promotion Coordinator
Through my role, I help support and bolster various initiatives addressing student health and wellness needs. I’m passionate about providing students with the tools and resources they need to make the best decisions for their health. I believe that education is a critical part of one’s health, and I am energized by strategizing ways to connect students to the information they want and need.
As I began my journey working in sexual health education as a peer educator, I am thrilled to support our Student Health Ambassadors as they outreach and connect with the overall BU Community. What I love about working at Student Health Services is the ability to connect with students, learn new things, and explore new ways to improve student health and wellness at BU.
Personal Hobbies
I enjoy taking long walks to explore and admire architecture throughout the city, reading, and learning to cook or bake something new!
