August 2021 Wellness Spotlight is Victoria Salin, Professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Director of the Faculty of Agribusiness. Victoria's strongest element of wellbeing: "Physical wellbeing is my strength based on my goals of moderation and consistency. I believe in fitness that has a place in my day-to-day." Victoria's biggest barrier to her health journey: "I tend to over-estimate the amount of time that it takes me to finish, both work and relaxation. So while I like to manage my time and tasks, I have had to work around the barriers that arise from over-scheduling and to be comfortable with re-starting good habits when I have dropped them." Victoria's motivation for prioritizing health and wellness: "I have been fortunate to be healthy and I want to do all I can to take advantage of my blessings. It helps to have the university and community resources that support healthy activity and allowed me to have mentoring and social support during my career." One thing on Victoria's bucket list: "Going to the stone circles in northern England or Scottish highlands. Not for Outlander-style time travel but to meet interesting people and learn more of the history of northern peoples would be great."
