Jennifer V. Gross, B.S.

Whether you’re navigating school, life, or the systems behind them, I’m here to help you figure things out.

I serve as the university’s Web Coordinator, managing digital tools and systems that help our campus website run smoothly. But I’m also a graduate student in social work and an academic life coach, which means I spend just as much time thinking about human systems: how we learn, grow, and get stuck.

As a first-generation student, I had to figure a lot out on my own. That experience shaped who I am and why I care so deeply about helping students navigate their own unique paths. Life doesn’t pause for school, and I understand how real that can be. In my own academic path, I got pregnant during my sophomore year of college, got married, and still graduated in four years. 

I believe that success isn’t about having a perfect plan; it’s about learning how to adapt when things get messy. Whether you’re facing academic stress, life transitions, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to help you reflect, recalibrate, and move forward with intention.

Systems can be frustrating, whether they’re made of code or people, but they can also be reworked. My goal is to help you debug the patterns that aren’t serving you and build systems that do.

You don’t have to do it alone. Let's create a plan together!
