It is with immense pride and gratitude that I present and honor an exceptional individual among us. Kelsey, our recipient of the DAISY Award, embodies the very essence of selflessness and dedication within Health Services.

Kelsey's impact reverberates far beyond the confines of our health center. She has not only galvanized student health with her innovative contributions, such as the installation of wellness vending machines on both campuses, focusing on student well-being from Narcan to COVID tests, but she has also demonstrated unwavering commitment to the welfare of our students.

In a moment of crisis, Kelsey's quick thinking potentially saved a student's life when she administered epinephrine to someone experiencing an anaphylactic reaction to an unknown allergen. Her decisive action and proficiency in handling such situations are nothing short of remarkable.

Moreover, Kelsey's compassion knows no bounds. She consistently goes above and beyond to support and collaborate with our Mental Health staff and students. Whether it's lending a helping hand during a session to address medication queries or providing solace to a student in the midst of a panic attack, Kelsey's presence is a beacon of comfort and reassurance.

Beyond her professional duties, Kelsey's authenticity and sense of humor create a positive ripple effect, brightening the days of those around her. Her superhero-like ability to maintain a calm and collected demeanor in the face of adversity is awe-inspiring, showcasing her remarkable strength and resilience.

In closing, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Kelsey for her unwavering commitment to the well-being of our community. Your dedication, empathy, and extraordinary contributions do not go unnoticed. Thank you, Kelsey, for being a shining example of excellence and compassion. We are truly fortunate to have you as part of our team.
