Audio: Jody Nelson: Hi my name is Jody Nelson. I am an undergraduate peer mentor. I am getting close to finishing up my bachelor's in human services and then I'm going to switch over to social work for my master's and focus on clinical social work. I'm really excited about empowering individuals and families in my community and working to contribute to a more fair and just society.

Outside of those interests, I really enjoy music, art, poetry, creative things, anything that's expressive.  I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

I'm really excited that you've decided to join the Walden family to pursue your academic goals because it really is a family. You have so many resources. There are people who really care about your success. It's not always going to be easy, but there are avenues available too so I would encourage you to reach out when you need help. You've got this! Good luck! We'll see you around!
