Schedule a meeting with Kirsten

Ontonagon Michigan. Although I grew up in San Diego, I have called the Upper Peninsula home for nearly 30 years.

I graduated from San Diego State University in 1990 with a degree in Psychology. Shortly thereafter I moved to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, a place I have loved my entire  life. I began working with students through the courts and the local schools, until  2005 when I  received my Masters Degree in Education from Northern Michigan University. I then became a High School Guidance Counselor working with students in my local area before joining the admissions team at NMU. I am a mother and wife and love to spend time with my family and friends. I love hiking, biking, cross country and downhill skiing, as well as yoga, cooking and traveling. I am privileged to be a part of this wonderful community in the Upper Peninsula and love sharing its beauty with perspective students.

My most memorable college experiences involve living with and bonding with friends. The highlight being when my best friend and I backpacked through Europe for six weeks during the summer of our junior year.

Most definitely eating. Marquette is home to some of my most favorite restaurants. I love the beach, the trails, and the people. Such a cool vibe!

Put yourself out there. Have enthusiasm for all you do and get involved. You never know where your experiences may lead you.
