Emma Michiels, Peer Educator

Hometown: Englewood, NJ

Major: Human and Social Development

I first heard about The Sandler Center through two of my close friends at UM who were actually peer educators in previous years. They recommended I apply as they know me to be a person who loves educating and helping others. Another reason I chose to work at The Sandler Center is that I wanted to be involved in a prevention program and gain experience within my field of interest.
