Margaret Sherin
Maggie Sherin is a Dartmouth ’18 who studied Biology and Women’s, Gender, & Sexuality Studies. At Dartmouth, she played on the Varsity Field Hockey team, and has since stayed active through running, biking, skiing, yoga, and boxing. She loves working with others to connect mental health to physical health, which she’s done through working as a pediatric research assistant on a pediatric obesity prevention grant, and as a volunteer coach for Girls on the Run for nearly a decade. She joined Med in Motion to connect this passion with the fight against social injustices, and believes in the group’s mission to build community and fight med school burnout through shared activities.

Stephanie Eble
Stephanie Eble graduated from Harvard in 2019 with a degree with Molecular and Cellular Biology and a minor in Global Health & Health Policy. At Harvard, she was a member and captain of the women’s heavyweight rowing team. She has since enjoyed staying active and is excited to be a part of the Medicine in Motion community to promote wellness through physical activity.

Oluchukwu Okonkwo
Oluchukwu “Oluchi” Okonkwo is a University of Pennsylvania ‘17 grad. For her, exercising has been a means for managing stress and an amazing outlet for helping others. Oluchi has been a body positivity coach for the past 4 years, helping people understand their bodies and habits, set health and fitness goals, and strive consistently toward those goals. Oluchi is excited to connect her classmates with Med in Motion and help them find ways to avoid burnout.
