LYDIA SCHULTZ

Counselor Intern

My name is Lydia Schultz and I’m a clinical mental health counseling student at Tennessee Tech. I earned my bachelor’s degree in 2024 from the University of Tennessee Knoxville, so I’m a big Vols fan and love to watch the football games! When I’m not in the office or at school you can find me reading a book or spending time with my friends and family. I love to explore new places and experiences and believe that it is a great way to naturally learn about people and cultures!
