Anica Chesnut

Hello! My name is Anica Chesnut and I am from Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I graduated from NMU in December 2022 with a degree in Biology. During my time as an undergraduate, I was a Resident Adviser in The Lighthouse in Maple Hall. I realized during my time as an undergraduate and alumni that my passion is working with students and seeing the personal growth in every student throughout their time at NMU.

In my free time, I love trying new things; whether it is trying a new recipe, attending a theater performance at Forest Roberts Theatre, or going on crazy outdoor adventures. I love being out and appreciating nature but I secretly love a rainy day snuggled in with a movie, game night or just hanging out with friends. I am looking forward to meeting everyone and feel free to swing by my office and say, “Hi!
