Get To Know SMECK!

 


Welcome to SMECK! We named our organization SMECK after our initials to show that we all put a piece of ourselves into this non-profit company. Sarah is the Social Media Chair, Madison is the Blog Director, Erin is the CEO, Cynthia is the Recipe Collection Director, and Katie is the Community Outreach Director.

As seniors in college, we wanted to create a resource we wish we had when we were new to living independently. Our organization aims to give college students a resource for simple and (mostly) healthy meals to enhance their lives beyond their studies. Home cooking and clean eating can seem very intimidating, but with the right encouragement we hope to make some healthy habits seem more accessible and even fun!


We're so excited to share this resource and create a community of wellness and change, and we hope you are, too! Like and comment on you favorite posts with tips, tricks, or reviews of our recipes, and don't forget to visit us on Instagram @smeck.recipes :) Post your creations of our recipes and tag us so we can share the experience!

Sarah: "Hello, everyone! My name is Sara Williams and I am the Head of Social Media for SMECK. I am very excited to be part of this movement: promoting a healthier lifestyle for college students. I have always been passionate about health and fitness and love that I can share this passion with others. I am currently a senior at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and am majoring in Corporate and Organizational Communication with a minor in Psychology!"


Madison: "Hey :) My name is Madison and I run the blog for SMECK! This blog is something that I would've wanted when I first went to college and didn't have much experience cooking, so I'm very excited to be working on this with my friends for our Senior Project. I'm currently receiving my BA in Corporate and Organizational Communication with a minor in Psychology. When I'm not engaging with SMECK, I'm usually reading or listening to music. I also love crafting and creating things, so I'm excited to bring that energy over to the SMECK blog!"


Erin: "Hello! My name is Erin Gheen and I am the Chief Executive Officer for SMECK recipes. I am so excited to be a part of this girlboss team and to finish the semester strong by building our Senior Project (this blog!). I am currently receiving my BA in Corporate and Organizational Communication with minors in Theater and French, I'm in the honors program, too! A fun fact about me is that I recently completed the Disney College Program down in Florida last year and got to work at Walt Disney World. Some things I love are gardening (growing fruits and veggies!), reading, and any kind of pasta ;) 


Cynthia: "Hey! My name is Cynthia Martin and I am the Director of Research and Content Creating for SMECK recipes. Working on this team has been so uplifting and inspiring as we are using our Senior Project to create an impact among college students. I am currently finishing my last semester at SIUE as a Corporate and Organizational Communication major with a minor in Business. My aspiring career path is Human recourses as I have been interning with the City of Collinsville for the past six months. In my free time you can find me taking my dog to the park, doing yoga, or trying out new recipes from SMECK ;)


Katie: "Hi Everyone! My name is Katie and I am the Community Outreach Director here with SMECK. We started this blog as a part of our Senior Project and are so excited to see where it takes us! I am someone who is a very picky eater, so this blog has given me the opportunity to explore more healthy options that I enjoy and hopefully others do the same. I am currently working towards my degree in Corporate and Organizational Communication with Psychology minor"
