Hi, I'm Audrey and I work with transfer students pursuing a degree in the College of Business, Analytics & Communication and College of Arts & Humanities. As the Assistant Director of Transfer Admissions, I support our Transfer Admissions team and work directly with students transferring or seeking a second undergraduate degree throughout the admissions process and support them in the transition to attend MSUM! I am a graduate of MSUM's Counseling and Student Affairs Master's program. I see Dragon Pride on campus through the diligence and commitment our students have to their education and one another. I think the community that develops on campus is astounding and I am so proud that I am able to represent that to our future students!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, holding licensure in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. My mental health experience is in a variety of areas, including the public school setting, the college setting, community outreach, and the outpatient setting. At the University of Minnesota-Duluth, I earned my MA in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in both community and K-12 counseling. I earned my Ph.D. at Capella University in Psychology with an emphasis in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. This is my fifth year at MSUM. You can find me teaching General Psychology, and the vast array of human development courses: Lifespan Development, Child and Adolescent, Adulthood and Aging, and Development Across Cultures. I also teach the Psychology of Women and Psychology of Food and Eating. I also have experience teaching Health Psychology, Personality Psychology, Career and Lifespan Exploration, Psychology of Adjustment, and Abnormal Psychology courses. My research interests are mindless eating and attitudes towards food and weight, and adaption to the workplace/education setting. My goal as an assistant professor is to make the courses I teach relevant to everyday life, create opportunities for personal growth and self-awareness, and help students make connections to the MSUM and greater F-M community. I am the advisor for the MSUM Psychology Club and Psi Chi. I am a certified Safe Zone resource and Mental Health First Aid Trainer.

Hello! My name is Scott and I grew up in a small town of 200 people, Sheyenne, ND. I work with 'out-of-area' students from states like Wisconsin, Iowa, and all other states outside of Minnesota and the Dakotas. I'm also the MSUM Admissions Office's PSEO coordinator. I'm proud to be a part of the MSUM Student Affairs team to help high school seniors with the transition to college. My Dragon Pride comes from seeing those students transform from interested applicants, to being involved students that are making a real difference on campus. You will also see me in the same spot behind the scorer's table at each & every MSUM Dragons home basketball game. Go Dragons!
