Health and wellbeing are essential components of both personal and professional success, particularly in healthcare-related fields. As a student at the College of Health Sciences, I balance multiple responsibilities that significantly impact my physical and mental wellbeing. In addition to my academic commitments, I work full-time as a dental assistant, a role that requires focus, physical endurance, and emotional stability when dealing with patients in a clinical environment.

Horse riding plays a central role in my life, as I practice it regularly and participate in competitions. Despite physical fatigue, riding provides me with a sense of freedom, emotional release, and mental clarity. It has also taught me the importance of proper nutrition, as physical performance, endurance, and recovery depend on maintaining consistent and balanced eating habits.

This e-portfolio documents my personal journey toward improving my health and wellbeing, with a particular focus on managing stress and improving sleep quality. Through setting SMART goals, developing realistic fitness and meal plans, learning from others through interviews, and reflecting on course concepts, I aim to build sustainable habits that support my academic performance, professional responsibilities, and overall wellbeing as a future healthcare professional.
