Anna Tegelberg, Author at The Whole U

Anna Tegelberg Assistant Director

Hello! My name is Anna and I am The Whole U’s Assistant Director. I’m a UW alumna and Seattle native, born and raised in South Seattle where I still live today. I’m motivated by the positive impact workplace wellness programs have on mental and physical health. Please reach out to me with ideas and special requests for increasing workplace well-being and engagement. The Whole U is for UW, by UW.

When I’m not at The Whole U, I’m most likely relaxing with friends and family. I love skiing in the winter, planning trips and going on adventures. I will never pass up a plate of tacos or bowl of Husky Deli ice-cream. (If you’ve never heard of it, it’s worth the trip to West Seattle!) I look forward to meeting you all!
