Student Testimonials

Marisa Gibson
2024 Graduate, BA. Human Services and Counseling
Somerset Campus

“ As an older student, I juggled full-time work, full-time school, and personal challenges that rivaled a prime-time drama. And yet, somehow, I managed to maintain excellent grades through it all. I didn’t just survive—I thrived, discovering I’m tougher than I ever imagined. Helping others has always been my passion. My greatest accomplishment isn’t just earning a degree; it’s knowing I’ve helped people out of situations where they thought there was no hope. I live for those “aha” moments when they realize their strength, that they can stand up to the world after all—they just needed someone to believe in them. I love being that person, pushing them toward their best selves with a little tough love and a lot of compassion. I’m currently pursuing a Human Resources certification while considering a master’s degree to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). I started with a dream, a cheetah-print robe, a tiny but mighty support system, and a passion for helping others. Lindsey Wilson gave me the tools to make it all happen—and for that, I’ll always be grateful.

Steven Hoeck
2024 Graduate, Master of Education, Clinical Mental Health Counseling
Somerset Campus

“ I began my journey at Lindsey Wilson University in January 2023 as a graduate student pursuing a degree in counseling. One of the key reasons I chose Lindsey Wilson over other programs was its unique hybrid format, which combines online learning with in-person classroom experiences. Over the past two years, I have encountered some challenges, including a heart attack in July 2023. However, these challenges have been far outweighed by my successes. I’ve had the honor of serving as an executive committee member for Chi Sigma Iota and presenting at the Lindsey Wilson University Mental Health Symposium in the summer of 2024. As I look to the future, I plan to stay connected with Lindsey Wilson in some capacity. I am currently exploring opportunities to apply my education to serve others and create meaningful change in the field of counseling.

Kailyn Haste, M.Ed., NCC, LPCC
2009 Graduate, School of Professional Counseling

“ I started my University career at SCC where I changed my mind about my actual career countless times. I ended up with 2 degrees, 5 certificates, and no clue what to do with them… Until I received a letter from LWC about their School of Professional Counseling. The transfer to LWC was so easy, all I needed was 1 class outside of the program curriculum and as soon as I started I knew it was meant to be. I resonated with everything, didn’t have to travel for my classes, and made some of the best friends I’ve ever had at LWC. I now work at my practicum/internship site where I gained hands-on experience while receiving supervision from my professors as well as current colleagues. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, a Nationally Certified Counselor, and I am in the process of gaining my Registered Play Therapist credentials. I honestly have my dream job and I couldn’t be happier! I am so thankful to SCC and LWC because if the transfer center hadn’t informed me of this opportunity, who knows what I would be doing right now (or how many other random degrees/certificates I would have).

Powell Miller
Master of Business Administration

“ I had no intention of earning a Master's degree when I finished my undergrad. The last thing I ever thought I'd do was go back to school, but after a career shift and some added life experience I felt like an MBA could help propel my career and set me apart from others in my field. The 100% online format of the MBA program gave me the flexibility I needed to keep working my crazy, unpredictable schedule in athletic administration while also letting me complete the program at an accelerated pace. Our assignments were adaptable to my field, allowing me to dive deeper into an industry I already loved. I accepted a new role shortly after graduation and went from never wanting to return to school to being very glad I did.

Rita Miller, MEd, LPCA
December 2020 Graduate, Somerset Campus

“ My name is Rita Miller and I had a phenomenal experience attending Lindsey Wilson University; the instructors were knowledgeable, caring and encouraged me not to give up and I learned a great deal about counseling. I was able to apply the obtained knowledge at my sites (LCRH, Oakwood, & Phoenix Preferred Care); that coupled with the expertise of my site supervisors gave me the confidence to work with my current 20+ clients. I was able to secure a job at Phoenix Preferred Care; I feel so blessed, supported, and cared for; my clinical supervisor is amazing and I am glad I chose wisely and she gave me this opportunity.

Tanner Pooler
Master of Business Administration

“ I can’t say enough good things about The Lindsey Wilson MBA program. Dr. Phillip Yoho was extremely helpful to me in my time in the program. The program allowed me to continue to be a full-time worker, all while learning and growing my knowledge within the business world. The professors challenged me and helped me to grow as a student, and I felt supported by them each and every day. I am where I am today because of the Lindsey Wilson MBA program and everyone who is part of it.
