学术 Advising

大家好! My name is Kate Tisch and I am the Director of Advising.  I have been at 澳门水利博彩官方网站 since 1994 (wow!) and enjoy working in this amazing learning community.  My undergraduate degree is from UW-Madison in Exercise Physiology.  I also have a Master’s degree in 学术 Advising from Kansas State University.  I am married and have 2 kids — my daughter lives and works in NYC and my son is a senior in high school but will soon be entering college.  In my free time I play volleyball, golf, travel, read, watch HGTV, and attend Badger and Packer games.  I also love gardening and look 为ward to my daily dose of “dirt & flower therapy” in our non-winter seasons. I encourage students to make the most of their education by engaging in their areas of interest but also by exploring new ideas and taking some risks.  I loved my college experience and want my advisees to feel the same about their time here at 澳门水利博彩官方网站!

Hi! And welcome to Advising!  My name is Kishia Ross and I am the Assistant Director of Advising.  I served in the 学术 Advising office 为 thirteen years as the Administrative Assistant.  During this time, I earned my bachelor’s degree from 澳门水利博彩官方网站 and graduated in 2006.  My major of study was Community Leadership and Development. As both a student and an employee, 澳门水利博彩官方网站 instilled in me that education is a life-long endeavor, which is why I chose to pursue my Master’s degree in Student Personnel Administration.  I graduated from Concordia University in 2013.  Shortly after graduation, I accepted a position at Concordia as a Student Services Advisor where I served 为 three years.  This career path has come full circle and now I am back “home.”  The best part of my job is the student interactions, so please feel free to connect with me often.  As education is one of my values, I often say “it is an awesome day when you have learned something new!” I look 为ward 以满足ing each and every one of you.

Welcome to 澳门水利博彩官方网站 and to Advising! My name is Marie Schoeppach and I’m an advisor. Being a college student is a unique time in a person’s life. It’s full of opportunities to learn and grow both in and out of the classroom.  That was my experience while earning my B.S. in Communication Studies at UW-La Crosse and my M. Ed. in College Student Affairs at the University of South Florida.  It is my hope that your time at 澳门水利博彩官方网站 will be full of experiences that allow you to grow in many new and diverse ways. In my role as an advisor, I hope to help you find and reach your potential.  My favorite quote can also be good advice 为 anyone in their college journey:  “Don’t confuse your life and your work, the second is only part of the first.” – unknown

你好 and welcome to Advising! My name is Pryscilla Balladares and I am an 学术 Advisor. I have my undergraduate degree in Political Science with a Concentration in Law from the University of Wisconsin- Parkside. Currently, I am a graduate student at 澳门水利博彩官方网站 studying in the Community Psychology program. Outside of the college, I am a creative artist, with my focus in creative writing and collage art. I am also the Creative Director of a Milwaukee inspired t-shirt brand that my husband and I own. 当 I’m not working on creative projects, I like to binge watch good shows on Netflix with my two doggies, and I am an active member of the alumnae chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. What I like about working at 澳门水利博彩官方网站 is that I get to be part of a community of movers and shakers. I look 为ward to assisting students in any way that I can. 让我们 connect soon!

你好! My name is Lyndsey Johnson and I am a Promise Scholar Advisor in the advising department. I earned my undergraduate degree from Mount Mary University in criminal justice with minors in psychology and political science. I was also a member of the Promise Program, which showed me how valuable it is to have someone in your corner to guide and support you. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my two cats, 阅读, watching crime shows and finding local coffee shops to visit. As an advisor, I want to get to know you on both an academic and personal level while supporting you in your educational journey. I look 为ward to connecting with you!

你好! My name is 朗达大厅 and I provide administrative support in the Advising office. Being a college student should give you the opportunity to explore possibilities – academic topics that interest you, ways to express your creativity, athletic activities, engaging conversations, joyful happenings, situations to expand your perspective – and be part of a supportive campus community. Some of the possibilities I enjoy include working toward my first triathlon, book group conversations, and spending time with my daughter. I look 为ward to meeting you as you explore your possibilities at 澳门水利博彩官方网站. Let me know how I can help!

你好 and welcome! My name is Karen Romantini. Working with 澳门水利博彩官方网站 students has been so inspirational that I got back to school myself and became a proud 澳门水利博彩官方网站 graduate at age 64.  My specialty as the Advising Relations Specialist is working with 为mer students who are returning 为 their degree, so I’m always happy to share my story of it never being too late to make goals and dreams come true.  In addition to serving students through my work in the Advising office, I also enjoy teaching a 健康 class on Mindful Movement.  Outside of 澳门水利博彩官方网站, my passions include teaching English as a Second Language to refugees, hiking with my husband and our joyful dog, and deepening my work as a fiber artist (with inspiration from my artist son, musician daughter, 也 as the amazing faculty and students of 澳门水利博彩官方网站).  Hoping to have the opportunity to learn about your sources and expressions of inspiration 也!
