My name is Lydia Byers, and I am a biology major with a psych minor on the pre-med track. I love to crochet and cross stitch, and I love to exercise in all different ways. I run, swim, and teach cycling classes at the REC! SSS introduced me to a lot of great people and provided a space on campus for me to be comfortable while studying. These benefits are, of course, in addition to the amazing resources I was exposed to (free printing was a big one!). I chose to work at SSS because I want to help the students that helped me feel like I belong here at UWL.

I love hiking, singing, photography, shopping, fashion, driving with my windows down while blasting music, journaling, and I am obsessed with flowers/nature in general.

I enjoy nature and being active. My favorite things to do in our area are rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, skateboarding, and fishing. I also enjoy playing video games and relaxing in a hammock in the woods or on the bluffs. I also enjoy riding and working on my motorcycle. I am currently an Exercise Sports Science Major on the Pre-Professional Physical Therapy Track with a minor in Archeology. I look forward to working and helping students along their journey of freshmen year. I hope to be able to help them in a way I feel like I needed as an independent first-generation scholar. I enjoy being a peer mentor because being able to help someone lower their stress and build confidence in their future brings me joy knowing they left feeling better than when they came. 

I am a third-year student majoring in Sports Management and minoring in Theatre and Business Administration. I enjoy meeting new students and supporting them as they transition to college life. I love watching and playing sports, mainly soccer and pickleball.

My name is Kasey Hammill, and I am a PASHE (physical, adapted, school health education) major here at UWL. Some hobbies I have include staying active by playing frisbee, running, and cycling, reading, and crafting. I love being a part of SSS because the people in the office have become like my second family away from home! Everyone is so supportive, and it makes me love my job and being at school. 

Hi! My name is Jayden, and I am a biology major with a chem minor on the pre-pharmacy track. I grew up in Onalaska, WI. In my free time, I love to read, draw, binge Brooklyn 99, and listen to true crime ("Crime Junkie" has my heart). I am tutoring for SSS as a member myself to form connections with other people and (hopefully) help someone in the process.

I play club rugby and play video games in my free time. I want to go to medical school to become a physician or go to grad school for either a MD/PhD or PhD. My favorite thing about working in SSS is interacting with other students.

Hello, my name is Amanda, and I am a third-year here at UWL. I’m majoring in communications with a minor is psychology, and in my free time, I like to read, play piano, and hang out with friends.

My name is Seth Oemig, and I’m a CST major here at UWL. I’m from Marshfield, Wisconsin, and love being a Wisconsinite! In my free time I love watching sports, hiking, and hanging out with friends and family. I’m a first-generation college student and former UWL First! Scholar. I was part of the peer mentor program as a mentee my freshman year and saw the value of it right away. Being a peer mentor has been very rewarding for me and I love working with first-year students as they get comfortable here at UWL. College is a place where everyone should feel welcome, and our goal as peer mentors is to make sure that’s the case for our mentees. 

Hi there! My name is Luke Schneider, and I’m currently a junior studying biochemistry. My plans after college are to go to graduate school for public health and epidemiology. In my free time, I enjoy listening to audiobooks and going for runs. I also really enjoy watching documentaries. My favorite thing about SSS are the dedicated staff members that work here, and the lengths they go through to help students. If you want help in a science class, feel free to come see me!

In my free time I like to go on walks in the Myrick Park Marsh, read, or do stuff with my friends. I love the song "Line Without a Hook," by Ricky Montgomery, and my favorite color is lavender. I enjoy working at SSS because it allows me to balance work and school really well. 

I enjoy playing video games, studying history (primarily automotive history), watching Doctor Who, and cruising around in my car!

My favorite thing about working in SSS is getting the opportunity to meet with and help people, as well as form connections with this close-knit community.

Hi, my name is Jazmar Tyler. I am a first-gen scholar and freshman student at UWL. Some of my hobbies include making music, playing video games, and roller skating.

Hi, I'm Logan Woodworth, a Junior(Third Year) at UWL majoring in Biology with a focus on pre-medicine. I grew up on a dairy farm outside the small village of Kendall, WI, and graduated from Royall High School. Currently, I work as a Resident Assistant (RA) and tutor at Student Support Services (SSS), where I enjoy helping others while building my own skills. Outside of academics, I stay active through bowling, video games, hanging out with friends and enjoying the outdoors. Fun Fact: This summer I got certified as an EMT-Basic. Feel free to stop in SSS's math lab and I can assist you. (Hopefully not for a medical emergency)
