I'm Brooke, I am a second-year nursing student and MHC, I am super excited to be able to do clinical this year! In my spare time I like to go on walks and go fishing.

Emma Godlonton, MHC Peer Support

Hi, I'm Emma, I am in the Criminal Justice program; once I graduate, I want to pursue Social Work. Fun fact about me: I feel naked without nail polish and jewelry!

Kaitlind Kelly, MHC Peer Support

Hi, I'm Kaitlind! This is my third year as a Campus Peer Support Worker, and I'm thrilled to be back. I've always had a passion for mental health and psychology – plus a knack for helping others. I'm currently studying English Literature, with a specialty in creative writing. I adore art in all forms, love all things STEM, and can make a wicked seagull noise.

Moyo, MHC Peer Support

I am an international student passionate about helping others. As a peer supporter, I strive to support and guide my fellow students, fostering a welcoming space for those in need. In my free time, I love reading, listening to music, and meeting new people, always eager to learn from diverse perspectives. I believe in the power of connection and am dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of others, embodying the spirit of support and kindness.

Find Moyo at Brooks Campus!
