Naomi Martin

Hi everyone! My name is Naomi Martin and I am a Psychology and Criminology double major. I am very interested in the psychology of criminals... more specifically serial killers. A little odd, but it's my passion. I am a senior here at UMD and wish I could stay here forever. I am or have been a Teaching Assistant for General Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Social Psychology, Gender in Society, and Psychology as a Discipline and Profession. I love answering questions and discussing future plans with students. I encourage you to stop by and say hello!!

Luke Merrill

My Name's Luke Merrill and I am from Cambridge-Isanti High school. I graduated in 2010 and came to UMD with 50 transfer credits (PSEO). I had struggled with my choice of major(s) up until this semester and I am finally happy with where I am at. I am now a Psycholgy & Economics Double major with a minor in Business administration. I will be graduating the spring semester of 2014. I'm not sure exactly what I want to do with these degrees after my schooling, but I know that its a good fit for me right now and I feel content with the decisions I have made. With all the thoughts and switching of majors that I have had to do, I have learned a lot about not only the procedures here at UMD, but about myself. I look forward to helping whoever needs any kind of help with the college transition, class choices, or any other general questions!
