The three-time women’s varsity ice hockey letter-winner and psychology major at Lake Forest College works in the Denver area as an industrial/organizational psychologist at Nygren Consulting.

She says Lake Forest’s small class sizes, personal attention, and access to world-class professors taught her how to create meaningful personal relationships. “This is something that is vitally important in my line of work, which allows me to build trust and respect with my clients from day one.” 

An officer of the College’s Alumni Board, Finesilver shares the five things she can’t possibly live without.

My passport: I love to travel. In fact, I just returned from three weeks in Norway, where I had an amazing time sailing the North Sea, taking in some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen, and talking with Norwegians about their views on socialism, our political system, and life in a country that mandates five weeks of paid vacation a year, 10 months of maternity leave, and two months of paternity leave. I always try to spend time with locals to get a realistic idea of what life is like in other places. I crave perspective.
