Hi, I’m Libby and I am originally from Northern Wisconsin. I came to UW-Stout for my undergrad and loved it so much that I chose to stick around! Before making my way to Admissions as a First-Year Counselor, I worked on campus as a rock-climbing instructor and challenge course facilitator at Stout Adventures. Outside of work I am usually hanging out with my friends - whether we are staying for a movie night or going out and about on a new adventure. Some hobbies I really enjoy include cooking, hiking, kayaking, watching movies, and going to concerts.

Advice for a new student:
Do things! College is a great time to try something new and meet new people. Everyone else around you is experiencing life for the first time too, so don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone. Join a club, talk to your classmates, go on adventures with your friends! These next few years are what you make of them so try to have some fun and create some good memories to look back on. 

College Major/Minor:

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Health, Wellness, & Fitness along with a Minor in Sports Coaching.

Why did you choose your major?
I changed my major during my Sophomore year of college, I realized that my original choice wasn't the best fit for me and chose to pursue my interests in kinesiology and wellness. I was able to find a major that I really enjoyed studying here at Stout!

What do you love most about UW-Stout?
What I love most about Stout is the people. It is so wonderfully easy to meet new people and make friends both as a student and an employee. Stout really does an amazing job of creating close-knit communities among students, staff, and faculty.

My favorite thing to do in Menomonie is…
Going to the farmer's market in the summertime.

A random fact about me...
My friend and I once saved a stranger's life on a hiking trip in Utah.
