About me
I begin my eighth year of academic advising with the 09-10 school year. My background includes an associate degree as a veterinarian’s assistant, a bachelor’s degree in history from UW-Madison, and a master’s degree in social work from the U of M. In addition I have a minor in Women's Studies and Spanish and a year's study at the University of Madrid, Spain. I have taught Career Planning and First Year Experience courses here as well.
My passion is in the area of coaching students to enhance their interpersonal skills such as taking responsibility, developing emotional intelligence, fostering interdependent relationships, believing in themselves, focusing on strengths and creating greater self-awareness. My values in the advising relationship center on actively listening to students, reflecting back their own innate wisdom and strengths, promoting a balanced lifestyle and making wise, informed choices and decisions. I also enjoy helping students navigate this University in all its complexities and exciting opportunities.
I am mom to Lizzie and Aaron, one a college junior, the other a college graduate prepping for graduate school. They are by far my greatest teachers. I look forward to every day and meeting every student.
See you soon!
