Hi, I'm Rachel. I will be graduating with my Master's of Social Work from Western Michigan University in June 2022. I have been working in the area for the past five years as a case manager working with a diverse population of people. I live in the area with my husband, toddler, and two dogs. I enjoy spending time going on walks by the beach in the summer and crafting in my free time.

I enjoy working with students who have various life issues. I want to be able to connect them with resources in the community that can help them. I am passionate about empowering students and showing them that they have the abilities within in themselves. I hope to assist students with campus resources that can help them during their time in college. I have experience working with children, adults, elderly people, and the LGBTQ+ community. I view Life coaching as a way to help empower student by showing them how to connect with people and resources. Life coaching can help with organization, time management, and building a supportive network to help students while they are in college and when they leave LMC.
