Kristen Geheb
Student Success Advisor, EPP Cluster
Education:
- Master’s in School Counseling, IU School of Education, 2014
- Bachelor of Arts in Communications, IUPUI, 2012
- Previous majors: Elementary Education
Professional Experience:
- How long in ACD: Since September 2014.
- What do you like about the work you do: Getting the opportunity to make students feel like they belong at IUPUI (maybe before they even believe they do). I like having high expectations for my students and then seeing their confidence soar when they go beyond what they think they could do.
- Past jobs/experiences: I have worked in several mentoring/coaching capacities around Indianapolis. It tends to be the thing I am drawn to the most. I currently mentor for Starfish (a program for high school students who will receive the 21st Century Scholarship). I get to meet with my student every other week until they graduate high school and have new fun adventures together around Indy.
Advice to students:
- If you want to be successful, be consistent.
- And sometimes you have to unfollow people in real life.
- Lastly, of all the people on the planet, you talk to yourself more than anyone. Make sure you are saying the right things.
If you could be any major in your cluster, what would it be? Why?: Human resources in the Kelley School of Business. I have always loved the idea of supporting people in the capacity of the work they do by leading training sessions and teaching relevant programming.
Quick facts about me: I’m from a small town in Indiana near Kokomo. I have known for most of my life that I was going to work with students in some sort of capacity. My family is full of teachers. As you can see from my alma mater, my retention rate at IUPUI is 100%. I live for basketball season—grew up a Boilermaker fan and continue to bleed black and gold. #Boilerup I really enjoy fitness and staying active. My current favorite workout is Orange Theory Fitness. I also love to travel and consider myself a foodie! Lastly, I am recently engaged and getting married to my best friend, Craig, in September!
