Wellness Champion: Kimberly Ferreira

   Employee Awards 2026 | Posted on March 2, 2026

Kimberly Ferreira is a shining example of wellness, both in her professional and personal choices. As chair of the School of Rehabilitation Sciences, it may seem obvious that she’s quick to promote daily movement to her colleagues and students, but Kimberly goes above and beyond what’s expected

“You will always know that she is steadfast in her belief in the ‘NEWSTART’ motto!” says Heather Trutwein. “She is honestly one of the most faithfully dedicated to a healthy diet.”

Anna Piskozub shares, “Kim faithfully attends my morning exercise classes, bringing with her a consistent spirit of kindness and compassion. She has a beautiful gift for welcoming and encouraging new participants, ensuring that everyone feels valued and at ease.”

Michele Keyes notes, “I can honestly say that her commitment to wellness is truly inspiring.  From the schedule she keeps … to the health-related encouragement she provides to everyone in the department, she ‘walks the walk’ in the most positive and non-judgemental way.”

Deby Andvik sums it up well: “She truly demonstrates a healthy and balanced lifestyle and promotes wellness in all dimensions—physical, spiritual, emotional.”

Kimberly, thank you for being a true champion of wellness at Andrews University.
