About
I have been working in the CLAS Academic Advising Center since December 2010. I earned my B.S. in Psychology and my M.Ed. in College Student Affairs Leadership from GVSU. As an undergrad, I was a member of Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology and also played intramural basketball, volleyball, soccer, and hockey. As a graduate student, I worked in the College of Education as a technology research graduate assistant and had the opportunity to do a graduate internship in the CLAS Advising office where I fell in love with advising. I oversee some of the drop-in tutoring centers on campus so if you are interested in becoming a tutor please don’t hesitate to contact me. I also serve as the Graduate Records Exam (GRE) representative for our office and we host a GRE workshop every fall and winter. As part of the Pre-Professional team, I help students plan courses for their programs and select meaningful extra-curricular experiences to build strong applications. I advise the Pre-SOMA Club on campus which is a group that is focused on pursuing osteopathic medicine. I also advise students who are exploring majors and even teach a section of US 102-Career Education Class once a year to first- and second-year students to assist them in finding a major that best aligns with their interests/skills. In my free time I like to watch and play sports, run, sing, and watch The Office and Detroit Red Wings. You can often find me in the Rec Center doing something to stay active.
Advising Areas: Behavioral Neuroscience, Biomedical Science, Exercise Science, Psychology, Preprofessional (pre-chiro, medical, pharmacy, & podiatry)
