Ally Toles

Hi, my name is Ally Toles, and I am a sophomore Community Health/Physiology and Neurobiology Double Degree. In addition to being a member of SHAC, I am a member of OAES, Phi Alpha Epsilon, and the Maryland Equestrian Team. I joined SHAC, because I wanted to help my fellow students learn about all the Health Center has to offer. My main health concern would be staying healthy in the dorms. If students were aware of simple things they can do to keep themselves disease-free, I think we could be a lot healthier as a whole.
