SWAG视频 Me

I currently oversee the graduate counseling Accelerating Counselor Education & Student Success (ACCESS) grant under the direction of Dr. Carmelita Lamb. I am currently the program coordinator and co-principal investigator for the K-12 school counseling-focused, 6-million-dollar federal grant. I also perform administrative assistance for Dr. Christina Jurekovic, other graduate counseling faculty, and LFSEBS staff/faculty. I am grateful for the opportunity to be involved in an environment where individuals are dedicated to helping students who seek to better their lives and those around them through advanced education opportunities.

Why I鈥檓 At Mary

My journey began at Mary as a graduate student. I became a GA, and when we moved to Bismarck, I fell in love with the campus and, more importantly, the LFSEBS staff and faculty. It's incredible to see the benedictine values in every piece of work that goes on here, and I knew I wanted to be part of it.
