BA (MSVU), M.Ed in Counselling (Acadia, in progress)
When I began my post-secondary journey, I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted to do or where I would end up in my career, but I knew that I wanted to work in a field where I could help people. However, during my first few years of university, I struggled with the adjustment period. After transferring to a new institution in my third year of study, I discovered a new sense of community, and I quickly developed a passion for advocacy, social justice and mental health. I became involved on campus in various ways, including working as a research assistant and getting involved in extra-curriculars and the Student’s Union. I found academic success in my degree after gaining insight into what supports were available to me as a student, ranging from academic advising to accessibility supports. After graduation, I began working primarily in non-profit settings in the areas of administration, program delivery and communications.
Because of these experiences, I understand that university can be an equally exciting and challenging time. I am so happy to be working as an Academic Services team member at King’s, and I am passionate about helping students navigate the complexities of degree-planning, academics and achieving their desired goals – and I look forward to working with you to do just that! When I’m not at King’s, I’m also a current graduate student, pursuing a Master of Education in Counselling.
