Liz Thompson
Director of PacWell

I am an alumna of Pacific and a proud Tiger. I graduated with a B.A. in English and Theatre Arts, receiving my teaching credential from the Benerd School of Education. My husband and I were Head Residents in Casa Werner, and I worked at the School of Pharmacy in the office of Student Affairs. 

I am a licensed Marriage Family Therapist, receiving my Masters from Western Seminary. For 17 years, I provided individual, couples and group therapy in Counseling and Psychological Services at the University of the Pacific.  I also served as the Outreach Coordinator and teach a section of the Pacific Seminar - PACS - for first year students. I love excursions by planes, trains, automobiles, or on foot. I also love food and wine pairing, piano, Italian cuisine and family.

Miranda Heaney
Graduate Assistant

I am a current graduate student in the Benerd School of Education, working toward my Master's in Student Affairs ('19). I have my Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and Gender Studies from Saint Mary's College. I love working with college-aged students and am excited to bring useful health information to the Pacific community. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, trying new restaurants, and spending time in the Bay Area. 

Ranai Koch
Electronic Medical Record Administrator & Marketing Coordinator

I began my work with Pacific Health Services as a work study student in 2004.  After graduation I worked in the Insurance Office in various positions. Today I am the Electronic Medical Record Administrator and Marketing Coordinator, working closely to support the needs of PacWell. Through my work with PacWell I have embraced living a healthier lifestyle and love helping students learn about whole person wellness as a facet of success at Pacific.

I love crafting, design, and event planning. Most of my time outside of work revolves around those activities! I also enjoy my family and travel.

As the Graphic Designer for Health Services, I create promotional and educational pieces for PacWell to spread wellness on campus. In my free time I enjoy cooking, playing music, and playing with makeup. In the future, I would like to use my graphic design skills to work in advertising, business, and branding.
