From 2016 to 2020, Leah worked with Western Oregon University in Monmouth, OR as a Resident Assistant and Advisor, which inspired her love of Residential Education while she obtained her Bachelor of Science in Communication Studies with a focus on Interpersonal Relations. Dedicated to her passion, she decided to move across the country and expand her education to a Master of Arts at Western Michigan University and joined the Higher Education and Student Affairs Leadership program from 2021 to 2023.

Leah began working with Lake Michigan College in 2021 after being offered a graduate-level position as the Resident Director of Beckwith Hall, and developed her field experience working with Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA as a Summer Programs Assistant Resident Director. These experiences only further encouraged her passion for building a long-term career path working towards the support and holistic growth of college students while inspiring students to "fall in love with the journey rather than the destination," a motto that has driven many of Leah's past students. Leah became a professional staff member of Lake Michigan College in 2022.

Born and raised in Portland, OR, Leah loves a good rainy day, as well as traveling with her dogs Joey & Bo, reading a good book, and trying to find the best maple latte in the area.

Helping local employers fill their talent pipeline with apprenticeships, internships, job shadowing, and career fairs, and working in partnership with others to understand and serve employers' talent needs, Barbara's long commitment to ensuring the College is an instigator and leader of initiatives to strengthen our communities and economy is matched just as passionately by her desire to see students succeed, especially "first-generation" students like her.

She received a Bachelor's Degree in Modern Languages from Queen Mary University London and a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from Western Michigan University. She is currently working on her Doctorate in Community College Leadership at Ferris State University.

Please call me Rhi. I graduated from Michigan State University and obtained my Master’s of Social Work from the University of Michigan. I have been practicing mental health for 20 years. I live in the area with my tween daughters, husband, and a pug dog. I enjoy spending time in or near the water and enjoy the moment of a beautiful sunset.
I am passionate about working with students who are dealing with various life issues. I want to create a safe and inclusive environment. I use various modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and use a person centered approach. I think it’s best to tailor each therapy session to the individual student to address their specific needs. I have experience with depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicide, personality disorders, life transitions, interpersonal problems, self-esteem, gender identity issues, LGBTQ+, trauma, life stressors, academic or work related stress, substance use, time management, disabilities, grief and loss, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorders.
I view therapy as a way to gain insight with learning cognitive and behavioral skills to help live the best version of your life. Therapy allows a safe and confidential place to process stressors and allow self-growth. Therapy helps with your life narrative to makes sense of the past while writing the story of a different future.
I feel strongly about assisting and advocating for students with disabilities to help ensure they receive equal and equitable accommodations.
