Carol grew up in a large family in rural Ohio, where her chores included milking goats and taking care of chickens. She became the first member of her family to obtain a college degree, and as a first-generation college graduate, she can be a great resource to other first-gen students. In her words, “I enjoy helping students explore their possibilities and discover that I’m their advocate.”
She enjoys spending time with her five children and two grandchildren. Besides her children, she says one of her other greatest achievements in life is getting her master’s degree.
Before working at Life Sciences Advisement, Carol had experience working as a high school counselor, a BYU admissions counselor, and an academic advisor in the BYU Salt Lake Center.
Carol provides advisement for Exercise & Wellness (A), Public Health: Health Science (A-C), Neuroscience (A), Biophysics (A), and Cell Biology and Physiology (A). She also provides advisement for all first-generation students in the Life Sciences College.
