David Reed
Wheelock advisor David ReedA native of New Jersey, David received both his B.A. in Human Development and M.A. in Developmental and Educational Psychology from Boston College. Having worked with numerous student groups during his time as an undergrad, and working closely with incoming first year students during his graduate program at Boston College led David down a path toward being a resource and strong advocate for students.

His passion for social justice and educational equality is a motivating factor in his daily life.  It is for these reasons he came to Wheelock College in September of 2012 to take on the role of Student Success Specialist, in which he will be working closely with first year students as an advisor, guide, and source of support.

In David's spare time he enjoys watching movies, reading good books, and just enjoying all that Boston has to offer.
