Emily Bushouse

Role at the SALT Center: As a Strategic Learning Specialist, I work with students to help create their Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) by collaboratively developing goals for success, incorporating academic strategies, and providing students with guidance and encouragement throughout their university experience.

Education: Grand Valley State University, B.S., Psychology; Michigan State University, M.A. & Ed.S., School Psychology

Hometown: Otsego, Michigan

Activities/Interests: I’m an old soul. On a day off, I’m probably outside running, either through the streets of Tucson or on some gnarly desert trail. I’m passionate about competing in local races ranging anywhere from 5k to ultramarathon. My other interests include board games, writing, hiking, DIY projects, and searching for the best pizza in town. My partner, James, keeps me balanced and always knows how to make me laugh.
