Current Life Situation:
I have recently transitioned from a role as an academic advisor/pre-professional coordinator into a role at home with my kids. I’ve spent the last 6 years helping college students find their path as undeclared majors or as students pursuing health or law professions.
SITW impact on your life:
SITW was a family legacy of ours. Both of my brothers attended the first two years and my mom was a student teacher while I was there. We loved the land there and it helped us grow as a family and as people who enjoy time spent outside. For me personally, it inspired a desire to learn more about organisms and I loved every biology and zoology class I was able to take in high school and college. Though my career led me down a different path, I majored in biology because of what I learned about living things at SITW.
Special Memory:
hile everyone was making wiki-ups, me and a few friends found some pieces of the forest that allowed us to make a band, so that we could make some music. Was it good music? Maybe not, but you bet we hit those drums like it didn’t matter!
SITW should always:
get students to explore, in doing so, then explore who they are and what excited them.
