ABOUT ANDREW

Andrew started his college career at Grand Rapids Community College and transferred to Michigan State University to complete his bachelor’s degree in English, with a minor in history and focus in secondary education.

As a first-generation and transfer student from a small town, Andrew enjoys making connections with students, hearing their stories, and guiding them through the college and MSU experience. When not in the office, Andrew enjoys playing and watching sports (go Green!), eagerly anticipating March Madness, getting outside for runs and walks, listening to podcasts, and spending time with his family: wife Alexa, and kiddos Hadley, Callahan, and Reece.
