Our Team

Hi! My name is Brandon, and I use the pronouns he/him/his. I am a senior majoring in Behavioral Neuroscience. I have always been passionate about helping others and have an interest in mental health and mental disorders, so working as a peer educator for CAPS has been a dream come true! When I am not living the dream or studying, I spend my time listening to music, playing chess, and convincing others why the Marvel universe is better than DC.



Hi! My name is Allie Burch, and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I’m currently a sophomore at KU studying Applied Behavioral Science and Business. When I’m not in class or at work, you can find me spending time with friends, drinking a good cup of coffee, or watching some Netflix. I also love music, sports, and hanging with my little brother. I’m very passionate about destigmatizing mental health and the importance of self-care, so I’m thrilled to be a part of the HOPE@CAPS team this year. I’m looking forward to a great semester!


Hello! My name is Naomi and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I am a senior majoring in Psychology with a minor in Philosophy. I joined HOPE@CAPS because I have a passion for helping others and hope to help reduce the stigma surrounding mental health on campus. When I'm not working at HOPE@CAPS, I work at MOCSA (Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault) and spend time with my friends.


Hello! My name is Mariah Sibley. I am currently a senior majoring in Psychology and English. I have always had a passion for helping the people around me. I want to specialize in working with minorities and helping them achieve the help they deserve. Working with HOPE@CAPS will not only prepare me for my future career in counseling psychology but give me joy in my heart knowing that I can make a difference in some lives. I enjoy watching drag shows, writing poetry, and watching/reading anything that has LGBTQ+ representation.
