Hi Poppi Team,

My name is Erin Sykstus, and I’m a school-based occupational therapist in Chicago who shares my life in education and wellness on TikTok as @theschoolOT. I create content that focuses on the day-to-day of working in schools, while emphasizing work-life balance, self-care, and simple habits that make a big difference — like Poppi.

Poppi has truly become one of my favorite parts of the workday. It’s my go-to treat that gives me a boost, supports my gut health, and feels like a little moment of joy between sessions and IEP meetings. As someone working long days on my feet and managing a lot of responsibilities, finding better-for-you options that actually taste amazing is a total win.

What’s even more fun is that my students love Poppi, too! I’ve included it as an option in our reward system where they earn points for treats, and it’s always one of the most requested choices. It’s been a great conversation starter around making more mindful choices, and I love being able to share something I genuinely enjoy and believe in.

I’d be so honored to be considered for PR and to show how Poppi supports not only my wellness as a professional, but also brings fun and excitement to the school environment. I’d love to create content around how small, joyful habits — like sipping Poppi — make a big difference in managing the demands of working in education.

Thanks for making something that tastes amazing and makes me feel good!
