My Viterbo education was very broad in the sense that I was taking classes in management, biology, as well as core classes in sport science. The spectrum showed me different levels of thinking and challenged me to broaden my way of thinking. Now that I have transitioned to graduate school, I have found that my degree courses prepared me for the critical analysis needed in graduate level classes. In my sport science and biology coursework, I was always challenged to take processes and apply them to situations in which everything might not be particularly right within the body or environment. This critical thinking has made the transition easier for myself and I’m grateful that I was challenged so much at Viterbo.

I have always had a passion for learning about the brain and neurodevelopment. The biopsychology major provided a balance between the neurochemistry of the brain and learning about human behavior. This knowledge has proven especially helpful as I pursue a career as a licensed professional counselor. The biopsychology major helped prepare me for my master’s program by expanding my understanding of the neurobiology behind human behavior, which has ultimately helped me better understand the people I serve.

The benefits of obtaining my Viterbo undergraduate degree in natural science (now environmental science) continues to enrich and guide my activities as an educator, consultant, property owner and agro-ecologist. The world class biology faculty and curriculum at Viterbo exceeded even my graduate science studies. Every Viterbo student engaged in coursework receives guidance, support and direction enabling them to develop a career path that encourages their strongest attributes.
