Hey my name is Brean, and I’m a Team Leader! When I’m not at LTU studying Architecture, I enjoy spending time at my cottage with my very large family. In my spare time I like to stay active. I love playing volleyball, water skiing, painting, riding horses, etc. My biggest dreams include being a successful architect traveling the world, and having a big family. Most of my time these days is spent at LTU enjoying classes, friends, and tons of crazy fun.

Hi! My name is Michelle and this is my second year as a team leader, and my third being involved with First Year Programs. I am originally from an extremely small town in southwest Michigan where there are more grapes than people. I am a bubbly outgoing person who loves to be around people. I love to be involved and thrive on being busy. As a result I have become more involved in a number of groups and activities on and around the Lawrence Tech campus. I’m not afraid of hard work and am willing to put in the effort to achieve my goals. I am an avid sports fan with a deep love for the Detroit Tigers, Chicago Bears and the University of Michigan. When I’m not busy with school my favorite things include spending time with my friends and family, watching sports and movies and listening to music.
Supervises: Megan Ziegler, Mike Bandkau, Olesya Motovylyak, Shannon Hoey, and Shantel Miller.

Hey, I’m Tony! I like all kinds of sports: soccer, football, hockey, baseball, racquetball, Frisbee, volleyball, weightlifting, but not basketball. I may be tall, but basketball is not one of my fortes. I like running around, having fun, and getting into adventures listening to loud music, and not doing nothing. I love being outside. No shirt, no shoes, no problem.
Supervises: Jennifer Bur, Kimberly Klieber, Lauren McNichol, and Megan Holborn.

I am the mother of six children and I love spending time with them; bike riding, singing, swimming, and anything in between. I am a very adventurous person and will try almost any new exploration. We camp out (in the backyard) and go to sleep under the stars; however, we do prefer indoor plumbing.
