I have worked in health care-related nonprofits since 2009. I have a Master of Education in Adult Education and an MBA from the University of Kansas. <br /><br />After an early career in various industries, I found my calling working in health-care related nonprofits in 2009, when I joined the Continuing Medical Education Division of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), where I led teams in educational design and technology, accreditation and compliance. <br /><br />After nearly a decade at AAFP, I went to work for the American Society of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics as a Senior Director of Education & Meetings prior to joining CLL Society in 2018, where I serve as Executive Director. <br /><br />CLL Society is an inclusive, patient-centric, physician-curated nonprofit organization that addresses the unmet needs of the chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) community through patient education, advocacy, support, and research. <br /><br />In 2005, when Dr. Brian Koffman was diagnosed with CLL, he and his wife, Patty, sought to define and acquire the best possible care for one CLL patient: Brian.

BagIT E11: Jessica Somar - Certified Health Educator
Well-being across the dimension of Wellness with Jessica Somar. Mindy's talks with this month's guest, Wellness Expert Jessica Somar about the physical, emotional, social, environmental and financial dimensions of wellness with (or without) a cancer diagnosis.<br /><br />BIO ~ Jessica M. Somar <br /><br />Certified Health Educator - Corporate Well-Being Expert <br /><br />I was raised outside of Madison, WI, and despite being in AZ since 2006, I will forever be a Wisconsin girl at heart. <br />I spent my entire childhood as a competitive gymnast. <br /> <br />I went to college at UW - La Crosse, where I graduated with a BS in Community Health. I have held certifications in pilates/yoga (piYo), sports nutrition, Youth Mental Health First Aid and I am a certified health education specialist. <br /> <br />My biggest pride in life is my family, my husband, son and 3 bonus (step) daughters. <br /><br />Being a certified health education specialist and having my bachelor’s of science in Health Education, I have spent nearly 17 years in the corporate wellness arena. I started my career as an intern at the fitness center within Motorola, which is what brought me to Arizona. From there, I had the opportunity to develop a comprehensive and robust employee wellness program for a large, nationally located department of defense contractor. <br /> <br />It was such a unique experience, not only due to the nature of the organizations' work, but the diverse employee population. The next chapter of my career, I stepped into more of the population health space working for organizations that provided health management services to employers. This shift offered a variety of roles over the last 12 plus years. I spent time telephonic health coaching, developing worksite wellness programs, managing teams of telephonic coaches and onsite well-being coordinators, and most recently, designing well-being and engagement strategies and serving as the director of engagement for a large insurance company. <br /> <br />Throughout this time, I also provided sales support to the teams I worked alongside with, serving as the resident wellness expert, contributing to RFPs (requests for proposals), finalist presentations and strategy sessions with new and potential clients. <br /><br />The range of my experience in the wellness industry, has given me broad perspective on how wellness means so many different things to different populations, as well as how to influence human behavior aiming to improve the overall quality of living for individuals. The world of wellness can be overwhelming so my role as a Certified Health Educator is to focus on evidence-based medicine and guidelines to achieve a healthy lifestyle again resulting in positive outcomes for individuals and the companies they work for. <br /><br />I am currently self-employed, which allows the opportunity to pick projects and engagements that align to my passions while providing me the flexibility to focus more priority and time on my family. <br /><br /><a href="mailto:jessica.m.somar@gmail.com">jessica.m.somar@gmail.com</a> <br /><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessicamsomar/" rel="noopener">https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessicamsomar/</a> <br />(602) 524-5944
