Philadelphia, PA (04/04/2017) — Samantha Ghazal, a junior at Moorestown Friends School, took home second place in the Healthy Lifestyles Social Media Competition at University of the Sciences' Mayes College of Healthcare Business and Policy last month.

Ghazal, of Moorestown, NJ, earned a $1,000 prize for her project "Miracle Munchies," which focused on teaching young adults about superfoods through Instagram and Facebook posts, using humor and memes to make it engaging.

For the competition, students were asked to design social media campaigns across YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and more to communicate a specific theme that would encourage individuals to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
