Fun Facts About Kelsey:

1. What inspires you?
   I am inspired by the compassionate people who surround me. My family, friends, colleagues, and students inspire me every day. I look up to those who actively work to make a positive change in our world and who stand up for what is right.
2. What volunteer or passion projects do you do outside of work?
   I am a volunteer for Make-A-Wish! I love visiting with kids and their families to uncover their true wishes.
3. What was your favorite subject in school?
   Thinking back to my time as an undergraduate at MSU, my favorite classes were definitely the sciences, especially anatomy. I still find it so interesting! If I didn't follow the path to being a counselor (which I have no regrets about!), I think I would have gone into the medical field.
