I have served as an academic coordinator and advisor with the TRIO Student Support Services program at Northern since 2010. I work with low-income, first generation college students and students with disabilities. I assist students in areas of academic and skill development, major and course selection, and career choices/resume development. I earned my bachelor of arts in behavioral science at Mount Marty College and master of science in counseling with a specialization in college counseling from South Dakota State University.
