Wellness Services PEER

Hi! I’m Joseph Junker, a Wellness Services PEER at ECC.

I’m currently studying Human Services and working toward a future in Social Work. My journey back to ECC was inspired by my experience working with individuals affected by substance use disorders and discovering my passion for helping others.

Outside of school, I love camping, hiking, kayaking, yoga, reading, and video games.

As a Wellness PEER, I’m passionate about self-care, nutrition, holistic wellness, and connecting students to resources. My goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and never alone on your ECC journey.
