Biography

Rhiannon joined the UHS Mental Health team as a mental health provider in 2024, with a focus on mental health care for students of color.

About her role, she says,” College students have such an opportunity for growth and change at this stage in their lives. They can make decisions independently, sometimes for the first time, and often are not yet having to balance other, larger aspects of life, such as marriage, families, careers, and homeownership, that often come later. I love being a part of this era for students, supporting them in figuring out who they are and what they want out of life.”

Outside of her work at UHS, Rhiannon enjoys rock climbing and paddling on Devil’s Lake, the Wisconsin River, the Yahara, and the Madison lakes.
