Britta Kuenzli joined The College of Wooster in August 2023 as a Case Manager for Student Support & Outreach in the Dean of Students office. Britta has an Associate Degree in Applied Science from North Central State College and is a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant before she pursued her BA in Psychology from Tiffin University. Britta is a graduate student from The University of Akron with her master’s in social work and a Graduate Certificate of Cognitive Behavior Therapy. Pursuing a passion to empower others though a strengths-based approach, Britta also serves as adjunct faculty and a trained facilitator for Mindstrong, teaching students’ resiliency and stress management skills. In addition to her position in the Dean of Student’s office, Britta is the college’s Posse Mentor for Posse 18, mentoring a cohort of scholars from Atlanta, GA in collaboration with the National Posse Foundation.
Britta has been a facilitator, host & speaker for several Women’s Leadership events sharing her testimony of Loss, Resiliency, and Living your Best Life. Britta’s past work experience includes working with teens with behavioral needs through Trauma- Informed care as well as mental illness where she facilitated substance abuse programs, girl’s small groups, and one-on-one case management. Britta’s passion is pouring into young adults and the campus community helping students build confidence by finding their strengths through skills building activities. Britta also enjoys promoting team bonding within her department, networking, and connecting others through professional engagements.
Britta has four young adult children of her own, two girls and two boys. Skydiving has been an exhilarating achievement that Britta has enjoyed several times, gaining a new perspective on life. Spending time hanging out with friends and family, traveling, being a patron of the arts, and soaking up the outdoors every chance she gets, Britta has found a good balance in her life, being present at every moment making the most of each day. Other activities that Britta enjoys are mindfulness, yoga, and tapping into her own creative energy through writing, cooking, and fashion.
The College of Wooster is the most beautiful campus with its architecture, campus layout, and fountains. My favorite building is Holden Hall as it reminds me of a cozy castle from Scotland. My favorite place to recharge my energy on campus is the Noble Foundation fountain behind Scheide Music Center which provides the perfect respite for a campus lunch escape.
