Hi! I'm Ella O'Rourke, and I am a senior double majoring in psychology and history and philosophy of science! This is my third year being a part of SGB, as I have previously served as the Support, Advocacy, and Prevention Committee Chair. As an Executive Board Member, I am very excited to carry out initiatives related to harm reduction, Title IX support groups, and expansion of mental health resources. Giving back to the Pittsburgh community is a huge passion of mine, and outside of the office, you can find me volunteering at Planned Parenthood or the Allegheny County Jail. My drive for expanding mental wellness across campus comes from my experience as a Student Behavioral Associate at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic. Additionally, I am a research assistant at WPIC and the Department of Neurosurgery at UPMC! My hobbies include hanging out with friends, going on hikes, running, and going to coffee shops.

If I could decorate the SGB office, the theme would be...disco!
