Ariel Buric credits her education and mentors at WVU for helping her follow her passion. She recently began working with reserves and active duty soldiers in the National Guard, focusing on health and wellness principles.
“I chose my education based on my interests and the minor for the same reason. I love how the body works as a machine and enjoy teaching people how to use it more efficiently,” Buric explained.
Buric received a group fitness minor with CPASS, while earning a bachelor’s in Exercise Physiology and Nutrition in 2012. She completed a master’s degree in Exercise Physiology in 2014.
“WVU provided me with a great education and excellent resources,” she added.
According to Buric, Nancy Naternicola, CPASS clinical instructor, fitness and wellness, and Danny Bonner and Diana Gilleland, professors, Exercise Physiology, played important roles in her education.
