About
Hey all! I was born and raised in Grand Rapids, MI and attended Grand Valley to pursue my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Upon graduation I worked for a couple of years in the corporate world before returning to GV for my Master's in Education - School Counseling. I then worked as an academic advisor at Davenport University for a few years before once again returning to GV, but this time to work! Laker for a Lifetime!! I appreciated my academic advisor during my college experience - especially as a first-generation student - and enjoy being able to support students on their academic journey!
Beyond work, I am a proud cat mom to my two boys Sampson and Charlie and am (one of) the fun aunts to two amazing nieces! I enjoy quality time with my family and friends, cycling, reading, crisp fall days, bonfires, board games, and long walks with a good podcast or playlist.
Advising Areas: Anthropology, Psychology, Sociology
