Meet the Team: Rebecca & Amanda
Generation Health would not be the fantastic program it is without the hard work of our incredible team members who support families on their health journey.
Meet Rebecca, our Research Coordinator, and Amanda, our Generation Health app expert!
1. Tell us about your journey with Generation Health.
Rebecca: I started in September as the Research Coordinator.
Amanda: I started in July working on the implementation of the new Generation Health app. I’m also a PhD student at the University of Victoria.
2. What are your favourite ways to stay physically active?
Rebecca: I have three kids and they’re all climbers, so rock climbing at the beach is always a hit, or exploring new playground climbing walls all over the city. We also enjoy going for walks together around our neighbourhood (especially during blackberry season!).
Amanda: I love being active outdoors! My go-to outdoor activity is biking- either on the road or mountain biking. I have recently signed up to complete my first-ever marathon, which I am excited to accomplish!
3. What is your favorite go-to meal to make?
Rebecca: I’m a fan of quick, simple meals. My favourite supper to make is burritos with homemade wraps and lots of avocado and cilantro. Our tastiest meals are when my dad fires up the BBQ or when I’m lucky enough to have fresh produce from my in-laws’ amazing garden.
Amanda: My go-to meal is anything “dump and bake”. I’ve been making a one dish buffalo cauliflower and chickpea casserole lately that I’ve really been enjoying!
4. What is your favourite thing about working with Generation Health?
Rebecca: The people! I work with an amazing team of incredible people who make it a joy to come to work each day. I also love the opportunity to interact with the families we support. I have been interviewing new families this week, and it’s a privilege to hear their stories and see the impact this program could have for them.
Amanda: My favourite thing about working with Generation Health is seeing the impact that this program has on so many families! This program is incredibly diverse, covering many aspects of a healthy lifestyle, so it has something for everyone. Hearing everyone’s feedback after the program is super inspiring and helpful to continue to make Generation Health an awesome program that families want to attend again and again!
