Background
I have a varied background working in the field of art and design, then in research related to rural livelihoods and local foods, and now I'm in training to become a licensed mental health counselor. The common thread that runs through all of these endeavors is a desire to cultivate well-being. I am pleased to be here at Northland supporting students as they face challenges and helping them grow into who they want to be.
