Kalamazoo College (2018-2022)
I am thrilled to be taking my next academic journey at Kalamazoo College! I will be majoring in Psychology at K and majoring in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology in the summers at WMU in order to prepare for graduate school.
When I visited K, I watched a Psych 101 class with Dr. Boatwright. I was intrigued by the social justice discussion that occurred and how it tied into Psychology. Social justice is something that I am very passionate about and excited to explore further at K. I am driven to become a speech-language pathologist in part because I have empathy for those who are different and am motivated to help them in any way that I can.
A big part of the culture at K is driven by social justice. The Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership is an open, accepting, diverse location on campus that I am excited to get involved with!

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
-Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
