University Staff

Hello! My name is Arianna Buchanan and I am a proud alum of the College of Agriculture, Life and Environmental Sciences (CALES) and the Norton School of Human Ecology! I am originally from San Luis, AZ, and a proud transfer student. In May 2020 I graduated from the University of Arizona with a degree in Family Studies & Human Development, which has been renamed to Human Development & Family Science (HDFS). I have an M.Ed in Educational Leadership from Northern Arizona University.

Hello, Wildcat Family! I'm Amye (eh-mee), your Academic Advisor in Retailing and Consumer Science. As a first-generation student, I'm committed to providing accessible resources and fostering diversity within our program. I embody lifelong learning to better assist you. Let's embark on this journey together – I'm excited to connect with you!

I am the Academic Program Manager for the Masters of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy. I earned my B.A. from the University of Arizona, where I fell in love with Tucson, the UA community, and higher education. I went on to pursue graduate degrees in Student Affairs and Higher Education, receiving my Master’s degree from the University of Southern California and my Ph.D. from the University of Arizona. My research has focused on higher education structures, practices, and policies, examining the ways students are supported or discouraged within educational institutions.
