1. Tell us about your journey since graduation.
I graduated with a degree in Religion in 2011. I later came back
to GVSU to study Social Work, where I then went on to get my masters
at WMU. Today, I work at school helping kids process through trauma
and other mental health disorders. I also encourage all kids to apply
to GVSU for college!
2. Share a favorite Grand Valley memory.
Being a part of Campus Ministry. We always had a lot of fun and I
met some of my best friends through there. I also loved the outdoor
spaces on campus.
3. What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
When approaching graduation, take to the Career Center for advice
on jobs and how to utilize your degree.
4. List three words you would use to describe your Grand
Valley experience.
Independent, Supported, Fun.
5. What difference would you like to make in the world?
I would like to provide high school students with therapy and
guidance to help them succeed in college, and see an ever-higher
graduation rate with jobs post grad.
