Pronouns: she/her/they/them
Territories: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan
Education: B.A. in Environmental Studies
Hometown: Neenah, WI

Favorite College Activity: I loved living on campus! Not only did I build skills for community living, but I also formed life-long relationships with friends. Campus life offers a built-in support system for out-of-state students, and oftentimes ends up being a home away from home. When I wasn't studying or socializing in the dorms, I loved exploring my college town, participating in campus events and club meetings, and studying abroad for a semester in South Africa.

Interesting Fact About Me: My hometown has a foundry where manhole covers, sewer grates, and sidewalk ADA pads are created. I get to see pieces of Neenah in all the cities I visit!

Favorite Place to Go in the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµAPK-Midway Area: I love stopping in to Flying Pig Thrift. I've found some neat trinkets and decor pieces for my home that I wouldn't have been able to find at department stores. Go look for some hidden gems!

Why I Love Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµAPK: I love the willingness and sincerity possessed by all of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµAPK's staff and faculty. All of the people that make up the teams for student support genuinely want students to succeed and retain the information that they are learning. Our close-knit campus, our diversity, and our encouragement for open discourse helps to foster a community that learns and grows together.
